Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pounds ground beef
- 0.5 cups onion
- 0.75 cups milk
- 0.5 cups dried bread crumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons prepared mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, milk, bread crumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together gently but thoroughly using your hands or a large spoon.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased loaf pan or form it into a loaf shape directly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a separate small bowl, mix the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard until well combined. Spread this glaze evenly over the top of the meat loaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
Remove the meat loaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
