Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 large egg
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.33 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- 0.33 cup ketchup (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, eggs, milk, breadcrumbs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands or a wooden spoon until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan and press it down gently to form an even loaf shape.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ketchup, and yellow mustard to create the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf using a spatula or a spoon.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
Once baked, let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, making the meatloaf moist and flavorful.
Serve slices of the meatloaf warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
