Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 medium White onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.75 cup Ketchup
• 0.5 cup Chili sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, chopped onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down gently to shape it evenly.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, chili sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce to make the chili glaze.

Step 5

Spread half of the glaze over the top of the meatloaf, reserving the remaining glaze for later.

Step 6

Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Then, carefully remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining glaze on top.

Step 7

Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm. Pair it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables, for a complete meal.
