Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
• 0.33 cup extra ketchup (for topping glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, ketchup (1/4 cup), Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Use your hands or a wooden spoon to mix everything together until well combined, but don’t overwork the mixture as it can make the meatloaf tough.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, shaping it into a loaf shape and pressing it down lightly to ensure even cooking.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the extra ketchup (1/3 cup), brown sugar, and yellow mustard to prepare the glaze.

Step 6

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf using a spoon or spatula.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Pair with mashed potatoes, green beans, or your favorite vegetable side for a classic and comforting meal.
