A comforting and classic meatloaf recipe with a sweet ketchup glaze, perfect for a family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, milk, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Press the meat mixture evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce to make the glaze.
  5. Spread half of the glaze over the top of the meatloaf.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes.
  7. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top.
  8. Bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the glaze is bubbly.
  9. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a moister meatloaf, you can add 1/4 cup of finely chopped bell pepper to the meat mixture.
  • This meatloaf reheats well in the oven or microwave.
  • Leftover meatloaf can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
  • Consider serving with mashed potatoes and green beans for a complete meal.
