Ingredients

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, beaten eggs, chopped onion, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until everything is just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 3

Shape the meat mixture into a loaf, roughly 8-9 inches long, and place it on the prepared baking sheet or in the loaf pan.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ketchup (2 tablespoons), brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to create the glaze.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 60-70 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 and serving.

Step 8

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