Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 2 Eggs
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 0.25 cup Additional ketchup for glaze
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until fully incorporated, being careful not to overmix to avoid a dense meatloaf.
Step 3
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down to form an even loaf shape.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the additional ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard to create the glaze.
Step 5
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 160°F (71°C) on a meat thermometer.
Step 7
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute for a moist and tender loaf.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables for the ultimate comfort meal.
