Meatloaf Recipe
Report
This classic Meatloaf recipe is just like Mom used to make: baked as a free-form loaf and brushed with a ketchup glaze. It's delicious for dinner and just as good as leftovers the next day (meatloaf sandwich, anyone?).

Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef 80% lean (see note 1)
- 1 small onion minced
- 2 eggs (see note 2)
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs (see note 3)
- 3/4 cup ketchup divided
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl by hand, combine beef, onion, eggs, breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix on low until combined.
- Rinse a 9-inch by 5-inch loaf pan with water (to help the meatloaf release). Pack the meat mixture tightly in to the pan.
- Flip the pan over the prepared baking sheet and jiggle carefully until the meatloaf slides out. Bake 60 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees. Brush remaining 1/4 cup ketchup on all sides of the meatloaf. Return to oven and bake 10 minutes longer. Remove from oven and cool 15 minutes before serving.
Equipments used:
Notes
- Ground beef: No need to seek out a special meatloaf mix; regular 80% lean, 20% fat ground beef tastes terrific.
- Eggs: The yolks lend moisture and flavor, while the whites add structure and help the meatloaf maintain its shape.
- Bread crumbs: To make your own breadcrumbs, just pulse bread in a food processor or blender.
- Yield: This Meatloaf recipe makes six thick slices, ideal as an entree-sized portion. Double the batch to ensure plenty of leftovers for sandwiches!
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
