Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries, divided
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, divided
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/3 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and lightly grease a loaf pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, half the dried cranberries, orange zest, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  • Press the mixture evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the orange juice, cranberry sauce, and remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar until smooth.
  • Spread half the glaze over the top of the meatloaf. Bake for 35 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, spread the remaining glaze on top, and sprinkle with the rest of the dried cranberries. Return to the oven and bake 15 minutes more until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
  • Let the meatloaf rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Mix the meat gently to avoid a dense texture. Leftovers reheat well in a 350-degree oven with a little extra glaze brushed on top to restore moisture. If you prefer a stronger orange flavor, add an extra teaspoon of zest to the glaze before the final bake.
