Classic Meatloaf Recipe
This Classic Meatloaf blends ground beef with onion, garlic, oats, and seasonings including Italian herbs and Worcestershire sauce. Eggs and milk help bind the mixture, which is shaped into a loaf and baked until cooked through. A glaze of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar coats the top, giving a sweet and tangy finish. The result is a moist, tender meatloaf with a balanced savory flavor suited for a comforting main course.

Meatloaf Glaze
- ½ cup ketchup

Using your hands, mix together the ingredients until well combined, but try not to over-mix.

- Coat with the glaze. In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar. Brush it all over the top of the meatloaf.
- Cook. Place the meatloaf in the oven and cook for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature has reached 160°F (70°C).
- Slice and serve. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then, slice it up and serve!
