* 1.5 lbs ground beef
* 1 egg
* 1 onion, finely chopped
* 1 cup milk
* 1 cup breadcrumbs
* Salt and pepper, to taste
* 1/3 cup ketchup
* 2 tablespoons mustard
* 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix well until the breadcrumbs are soaked and the mixture is evenly combined.
3. In another mixing bowl, add the ground beef, finely chopped onion, salt, and pepper.
4. Add the milk, egg, and breadcrumb mixture over the ground beef and onion mixture.
5. Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
6. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it in a baking dish. You can use a loaf pan or shape it free-form on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 60 minutes.
8. In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar to make the glaze.
9. After the meatloaf has baked for 30 minutes, remove it from the oven and carefully spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
10. Return the meatloaf to the oven and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) and the meatloaf is cooked through.
11. Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and makes it easier to slice.
12. Slice the meatloaf and serve hot with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or your favorite sides.
Enjoy! 😋
