Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 0.5 cup Onion
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup (for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, ketchup, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until everything is evenly incorporated.
Lightly grease a microwave-safe loaf dish or shallow bowl to prevent sticking.
Transfer the meat mixture into the dish and press it evenly to form a loaf shape.
Spread 2 tablespoons of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf as a glaze.
Cover the dish loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or wax paper to prevent splatters.
Microwave the meatloaf on high for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Check for doneness using an instant-read thermometer.
Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
