Ingredients
  

Meatloaf
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 0.5 cup onion, chopped
  • 0.25 cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Loaf pan
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce.
  3. Mix the ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
  4. Press the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, shaping it evenly.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  2. Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme to the mix. A glaze made from ketchup, brown sugar, and a touch of mustard can be brushed on top during the last 15 minutes of baking for a caramelized finish.
