Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb Ground beef
- 1.5 cups Cornflakes
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 2 Eggs
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Ketchup (for topping)
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Finely chop the onion and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, crushed cornflakes, milk, eggs, chopped onion, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined; be careful not to over-mix as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Transfer the meat mixture to the pan and press it down evenly.
In a small bowl, prepare the glaze by whisking together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.
