Description

Perfectly seasoned ground beef topped with a savory glaze and baked into a Classic Meatloaf that Sunday supper dreams are made of.


Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1 and 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 3/4 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 3/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Topping:

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnishing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, chopped onion, 3/4 cup ketchup, lightly beaten egg, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Gently mix until well combined, but don’t overmix or this will result in a tough meatloaf.
  3. Shape beef mixture into an 8” long x 4” wide x 2” high loaf on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. In a separate bowl, make the topping by whisking together the ketchup, light brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Spread the sauce evenly over the top and sides of the meat mixture.
  5. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center registers 160°F. Let stand 10 minutes.
  6. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving, if desired. Cut into slices to serve.
