Description
A tender, savory meatloaf made with ground beef, savory seasonings, and a tangy ketchup-brown sugar glaze. This hearty Southern classic brings warmth and comfort to every bite, perfect for family dinners or weeknight meals.
Ingredients
2 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian-style)
2 large eggs, beaten
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon non-alcoholic Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, onion, milk, 1/4 cup ketchup, non-alcoholic Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
Shape mixture into a loaf in an oiled 9×5-inch baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk remaining ketchup, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce for the glaze. Spread evenly over the top of the loaf.
Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, or until the glaze is golden and bubbly, and an internal meat thermometer reads 160°F when inserted in the center.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For extra moisture, cook the loaf in a 10×6-inch loaf pan.
Use a non-alcoholic Worcestershire sauce to adhere to dietary restrictions.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
