Description

This Classic Homestyle Meatloaf with a Tangy Glaze is a perfect blend of savory ground beef (or turkey), fragrant onions, garlic, and a hint of Worcestershire sauce, all topped with a rich, caramelized glaze made of ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Tender, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying, this family favorite is easy to prepare and comes together in no time. Serve it with mashed potatoes, green beans, or cornbread for a comforting meal that everyone will love!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or a mix of beef and turkey)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (for the meatloaf)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (for the glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for the glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon mustard (for the glaze)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup ketchup, salt, and pepper. Blend until everything is thoroughly combined.
  • Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and transfer it to a loaf pan.
  • In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to create the glaze. Spread it evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  • Bake for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Allow the meatloaf to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Equipment

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute part of the ground beef with ground turkey.
  • Add a tablespoon of barbecue sauce to the glaze for a smoky, sweet twist.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for about 5-10 minutes after baking to lock in the juices before slicing.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
