I'm not sure where this dill pickle meatloaf recipe came from, but it's one that my mom made all the time when I was growing up. It's now a regular at my house, and it gets excellent reviews from everyone I serve it to. The best part is that the kids love it too!

Ingredients

  • cooking spray

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • ½ cup dill pickle juice

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 slice bread, torn into small pieces

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • ¼ cup chopped dill pickles

  • ¼ cup ketchup

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.

  2. Beat egg in a mixing bowl. Whisk in onion, pickle juice, salt, and pepper. Stir in bread until soggy, then mix in ground beef until evenly combined. Form into a loaf and place into the prepared pan.

  3. Stir together chopped pickles, ketchup, water, sugar, and Worcestershire sauce; pour over the meatloaf.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
