Classic Meatloaf

Ingredients

• 2 lb ground beef
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 2 tbsp brown sugar

Steps

1. Heat oven to 350 F and line a loaf pan or sheet pan.
2. Mix beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, onion, garlic, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper gently.
3. Shape into a loaf and place in the pan.
4. Stir ketchup with brown sugar and spread over the top.
5. Bake 55 to 65 minutes, until the center reaches 160 F.

Mix gently so the meatloaf stays tender instead of dense.
