Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.25 cup Ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tsp Yellow mustard (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, diced onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Using clean hands or a large spoon, mix the ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf tough.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the center of a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking dish or loaf pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard to make the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve warm. Pair with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or your favorite side dishes for a comforting meal.
