• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large egg
• 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup ketchup (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, diced onion, minced garlic, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a spatula until evenly combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 4

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

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients: 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon white vinegar.

Step 6

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf using a spoon or a brush.

Step 7

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) on a meat thermometer.

Step 8

Let the meatloaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
