👨🍳 Instrukcje
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, finely diced onion, 1/2 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough meatloaf.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared loaf pan or onto the baking sheet. Ensure it's evenly formed.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Bake for 45 minutes. The meatloaf should start to brown and firm up.
⏱️ 45 minutes - 5
While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the additional 1/4 cup ketchup, brown sugar (if using), and Dijon mustard (if using) until smooth.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
After 45 minutes of baking, carefully remove the meatloaf from the oven. Spread the prepared ketchup glaze evenly over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer and the glaze is slightly caramelized.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 7
Once baked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and moist meatloaf.
