Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup of ketchup, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients together using clean hands or a wooden spoon until just combined, being careful not to overmix as this can make the meatloaf tough.

Step 4

Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a lightly greased loaf pan.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together 1/3 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard to create the glaze.

Step 6

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
