Course Main Dish

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Loaf pan (9x5 inch)
  • Small bowl for glaze
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon or hands for mixing
  • Aluminum foil
  • Meat thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds ground beef 80% lean
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 medium onion chopped fine
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • This temperature cooks the meatloaf perfectly.
  • Grease your loaf pan with cooking spray.
  • Put ground beef in a large bowl.
  • Add breadcrumbs, onion, eggs, and milk.
  • Add garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  • Mix everything with your hands.
  • Don't overmix or meat gets tough.
  • Mix just until combined.
  • Put the meat mixture into your loaf pan.
  • Press it down gently but firmly.
  • Make the top smooth and even.
  • This helps it cook evenly.
  • Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and vinegar together.
  • Stir it in a small bowl.
  • The glaze should be smooth.
  • Spread half the glaze on top now.
  • Put the pan in your preheated oven.
  • Bake for 45 minutes without opening the door.
  • Then spread the remaining glaze on top.
  • Bake for 15 more minutes.
  • The internal temperature should reach 160°F.
  • Take the meatloaf out of the oven.
  • Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • This keeps the juices inside.
  • Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Don't use extra lean beef.
  • It makes dry meatloaf.
  • Use 80% lean for best results.
  • Let eggs and milk reach room temperature first.
  • This helps everything mix better.
  • Don't pack the meat too tight.
  • It needs air to stay tender.
  • Use fresh breadcrumbs instead of stale ones.
  • Add a tablespoon of mustard for extra flavor.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before cutting it.
  • This stops it from falling apart.
