Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef (80/20)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup French fried onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, ranch seasoning mix, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to form an even loaf shape.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to create the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.
After 50 minutes, carefully remove the meatloaf from the oven and evenly sprinkle the French fried onions on top.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a side salad.
