Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dry mustard
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, finely chopped onion, salt, black pepper, and dry mustard. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Overmixing can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 3

Transfer the meat mixture into a greased or parchment-lined loaf pan, pressing it down lightly to form an even loaf shape.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth to create the glaze.

Step 5

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 6

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 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.

Step 8

Serve warm, accompanied by your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
