Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 small, finely chopped onion
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup ketchup (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, 1/4 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix everything together using clean hands or a wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the meat mixture to a loaf pan and press it gently to shape it into an even layer.
Spread the remaining 1/2 cup of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf as a glaze.
Place the loaf pan on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Once done, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes and green beans. Enjoy!
