Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated, but avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Step 3
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, shaping it into a loaf. Press gently to ensure it holds its shape.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup of ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze.
Step 5
Spread the glaze evenly over the surface of the meatloaf, covering it completely.
Step 6
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Step 7
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain its juices.
Step 8
Slice and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables. Enjoy!
