The Best Meatloaf Recipe So Easy
This ain't just any meatloaf; this is the kind of comfort food that hits different. With a perfect blend of flavors and that classic ketchup glaze on top, you’ll wonder why you didn’t make this sooner!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (or crushed crackers if you like it crunchy)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup ketchup (plus extra for topping)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (optional, but it adds a nice touch)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Don’t be shy—mix it up with your hands until everything is evenly combined.
- Transfer that flavorful meat mixture into your prepared loaf pan, shaping it into a nice loaf. Spread a little extra ketchup on top for that classic look and flavor.
- Pop that bad boy in the oven and bake for about 1 hour. You’re looking for it to reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C) to be safe.
- Once it’s done, let it rest for a good 10-15 minutes before slicing. This helps keep the juices inside and makes for perfect portions.
- Serve it up with your favorite sides—mashed potatoes and green beans are a great combo!
Now, dig in and watch everyone come back for more! This meatloaf is not just a meal; it's a celebration of flavors that will bring your family together. Enjoy!
