Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large egg
- 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, diced onion, minced garlic, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a spatula until evenly combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and shape it evenly into a loaf shape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients: 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon white vinegar.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf using a spoon or a brush.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) on a meat thermometer.
Let the meatloaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
