Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Use clean hands or a large spoon to mix everything together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Press it down gently to shape it into a loaf.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard to create the glaze.

Step 6

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf, ensuring full coverage.

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) on a meat thermometer.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping the meatloaf moist.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm, accompanied by mashed potatoes, green beans, or your favorite sides.
