Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 oz ground beef (80% lean)
- 2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp yellow mustard
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp ketchup (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and milk. Let sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.
Add the ground beef, egg yolk, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a fork until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as it can make the meatloaf dense.
Shape the mixture into a small loaf (approximately 3-4 inches long) and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread 1 tablespoon of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf as a glaze.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables, and enjoy!
