ground beef Meatloaf

🍖 Meatloaf 😍

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup milk
• ¼ cup ketchup
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp yellow mustard
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp black pepper
• Salt, to taste

For the Glaze:

• ½ cup ketchup
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
3. Gently mix everything together until just combined. Do not overmix, or the meatloaf may become tough.
4. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared pan or on the baking sheet.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Spread half of the glaze over the meatloaf.
6. Bake for 45 minutes, then spread the remaining glaze over the top. Continue baking for another 15–20 minutes, or until the center reaches 160°F (71°C).
7. Let the meatloaf rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with mashed potatoes, green beans, or your favorite comfort-food sides. 🥔🥕🍖✨
