Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Step 3

Using your hands or a spatula, gently mix the ingredients together until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 4

Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the center of the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup ketchup and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to make the glaze.

Step 6

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 7

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

Once done, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your Delicious Meatloaf with mashed potatoes, green beans, or your favorite side dishes.
