Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 0.5 cup Onion
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until everything is evenly incorporated.

Step 3

Lightly grease a microwave-safe loaf dish or shallow bowl to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture into the dish and press it evenly to form a loaf shape.

Step 5

Spread 2 tablespoons of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf as a glaze.

Step 6

Cover the dish loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or wax paper to prevent splatters.

Step 7

Microwave the meatloaf on high for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Check for doneness using an instant-read thermometer.

Step 8

Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
