Old Fashioned Momma’s Meatloaf
This classic meatloaf recipe combines tender beef with simple seasonings for a comforting dish. It’s topped with a ketchup glaze that adds just the right touch of tangy sweetness.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 3 slices bread torn into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon onion powder or 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dry ground mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce optional, to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup ketchup
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready for baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, milk, egg, torn bread pieces, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder or finely chopped onion, salt, dry ground mustard, black pepper, hot sauce, and garlic powder. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Press the mixture into an ungreased loaf pan for a traditional shape or shape it into a loaf form on a sheet pan for excess fat to drain off during baking.
- Spread a thin layer of ketchup over the top of the meatloaf for a tangy glaze.
- Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
- Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes after removing it from the oven. Slice and serve warm.
