Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and lightly beaten eggs. Mix thoroughly using clean hands or a wooden spoon until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the meat mixture to a loaf pan and press it into an even shape. Alternatively, shape the mixture into a loaf on a lined baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to make the glaze. Stir until smooth.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 160°F (71°C) on a meat thermometer.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
