The Ultimate Easy Meatloaf Recipe: Delicious, Simple, and Family-Friendly (Page 3 ) | April 25, 2025

Step 2:Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, egg, chopped onion, milk, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Use clean hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can make the meatloaf tough.

Step 3: Shape the Loaf
Transfer the meat mixture into your prepared loaf pan. Use your hands to gently press it down and form it into a loaf shape. It should be compact but not too tightly packed.

Step 4: Make the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Once fully combined, pour the glaze over the top of the meatloaf, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.

Step 5: Bake
Bake the meatloaf in your preheated oven for about 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). To check the temperature, use an instant-read thermometer placed in the center of the loaf.

Step 6: Rest and Serve
Once baked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring your meatloaf is moist and tender.

How Long to Cook Meatloaf
The cooking time can vary depending on the size of your loaf and your oven. As a general rule:

– For a standard 1.5-pound meatloaf: Bake for 1 hour at 350°F.
– If you’re making mini meatloaves (in a muffin tin): Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350°F.
– For a larger loaf (2 pounds or more): Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
