Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cup ketchup (for meat mixture)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.33 cup ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup of ketchup, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together using clean hands or a wooden spoon until just combined, being careful not to overmix as this can make the meatloaf tough.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a lightly greased loaf pan.
In a small bowl, mix together 1/3 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard to create the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your 'Everyone Loves It Meatloaf' with mashed potatoes, green beans, or your favorite sides!
