1 ½ pounds of ground beef (80/20 for juicier meatloaf)
– 1 large egg (acts as a binder)
– 1 medium onion, finely chopped (for a mild, sweet flavor)
– 1 cup milk (for moisture)
– 1 cup dried breadcrumbs (acts as a filler and holds the meatloaf together)
– Salt and pepper to taste (the essential seasonings)
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional, but adds depth of flavor)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for an extra punch)
For the glaze:
– ⅓ cup ketchup (sweet and tangy)
– 2 tablespoons brown Sugar (for sweetness)
– 2 tablespoons Dijon or yellow mustard (adds a little zing)
Pro Tip: Customize Your Meatloaf!
Feel free to get creative with this recipe! Here are some options:
– Crackers instead of breadcrumbs: Crush up some saltine or Ritz crackers for added texture and flavor.
– Add vegetables: Finely diced carrots, celery, or bell peppers are great ways to sneak in veggies.
– Spicy twist : Add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes for a little heat.
