Classic Homemade Meatloaf

A comforting, no-fuss weeknight dinner that’s juicy, flavorful, and loved by everyone at the table.

  • Total Time: 75 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • Additional ketchup for glazing

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, milk, eggs, salt, pepper, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Mix until just combined.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf.
  4. Spread additional ketchup on top for glazing.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).

Notes

Use 80/20 ground beef for a juicy meatloaf; don’t overmix to keep a tender texture. Let the loaf rest before slicing.
