Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce (for glaze)
- 0.25 cup BBQ sauce (optional for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Use clean hands or a spoon to mix until well blended, being careful not to overmix.
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on the baking sheet. Press gently to form an even shape.
Spread half of the BBQ sauce (1/4 cup) evenly over the top of the meatloaf as a glaze.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes to settle the juices.
Slice the meatloaf into portions and serve warm. Optionally, serve with an additional 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
