This savory meatloaf recipe is a comforting and flavorful dish, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Finely chop the onion.
A finer chop helps the onion blend seamlessly into the meatloaf.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, milk, eggs, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan, pressing it down gently to shape it evenly.
Pressing gently ensures the meatloaf holds its shape without becoming dense.
In a small bowl, mix the ketchup and brown sugar to create the glaze.
Adjust the sweetness of the glaze by varying the sugar amount.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Use a spatula for an even coating.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Using a meat thermometer ensures the meatloaf is cooked through.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meatloaf moist.
