Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ pounds ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork for added flavor)
1 cup breadcrumbs (or substitute with crushed crackers for crunch)
1 small onion, finely chopped (you can opt for shallots for a sweeter taste)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large egg
½ cup milk (almond or oat milk works if you prefer dairy-free)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup ketchup (or barbecue sauce for a smokier finish)
2 tablespoons brown sugar (this adds to the sweet glaze)
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure an even bake.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spoon to mix gently but thoroughly.
Transfer the mixture to a baking sheet or a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf, about 2 inches high.
In a small bowl, mix ketchup with brown sugar. Spread this sweet and savory glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
Once removed from the oven, let your meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
