Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.75 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Transfer the meat mixture to a 9x5-inch loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press it gently to form an even shape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to make the glaze.
Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven, spread the remaining glaze over the top, and return it to the oven.
Bake for an additional 15 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 and serving.
Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes and green beans. Enjoy!
