Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 large egg
• 0.75 cup milk
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.33 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
• 0.33 cup ketchup (for glaze)
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, eggs, milk, breadcrumbs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands or a wooden spoon until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan and press it down gently to form an even loaf shape.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

Step 7

Once baked, let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, making the meatloaf moist and flavorful.

Step 8

Serve slices of the meatloaf warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
