Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Heinz ketchup (for mixing)
- 0.25 cups Heinz ketchup (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the meatloaf.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and 1/2 cup of Heinz ketchup. Use clean hands to mix everything thoroughly, being careful not to overmix.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down to ensure it is evenly distributed and compacted.
In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of Heinz ketchup with the brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce to create the glaze. Spread this glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
Once baked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making it easier to slice.
Carefully lift the meatloaf out of the pan, if using parchment paper, or slice it directly in the pan. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
