Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and yellow mustard for the glaze.
  5. Spread half of the glaze over the top of the meatloaf.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven, spread the remaining glaze over the meatloaf, and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  8. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a leaner meatloaf, you can use ground turkey or a mix of ground beef and pork.
  • You can prepare the meatloaf mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it.
  • Meatloaf freezes well. Let it cool completely, wrap it tightly, and freeze for up to 3 months.
