Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Ketchup
- 1.5 pounds Lean ground beef
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoons Prepared yellow mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
Spread the brown sugar in an even layer across the bottom of the loaf pan.
Spread the ketchup evenly over the brown sugar layer using a spoon or spatula.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, milk, eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and mustard. Mix well using clean hands or a spoon until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, gently pressing it down to create an even shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Carefully invert the loaf pan onto a serving platter to reveal the glazed topping, then slice and serve.
