Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 whole large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 cup ketchup (for meat mixture)
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup ketchup (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup (for the meat mixture), Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated but avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 3

Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a firm, even loaf.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup (for the glaze), brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 5

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 7

Slice and serve warm with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
