Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a loaf pan by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients gently but thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it evenly into a loaf shape.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard for the glaze.

Step 6

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 7

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

Once cooked, allow the meatloaf to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
