Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 large Eggs
- 1 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Prepared mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
- 0.5 cup Ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon Prepared mustard (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a rectangular loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, egg, finely chopped onion, breadcrumbs, milk, ketchup, brown sugar, prepared mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with clean hands or a wooden spoon until everything is evenly incorporated, but try not to overmix.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down gently to create an even surface.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the tomato sauce, ketchup (for glaze), brown sugar (for glaze), and prepared mustard (for glaze) to create the meatloaf glaze.
Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the uncooked meatloaf. Reserve the remaining glaze for later use.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes.
After 60 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining glaze evenly over the top.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the meatloaf and serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.
