Number of Servings:
- Serves 6 people
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
For the Glaze:
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions:
-
Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a Bazova ceramic-coated non-stick loaf pan to ensure easy release and cleanup.
-
Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, thyme, and oregano. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix as this can make the meatloaf dense.
-
Shape and Place in Pan: Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the prepared Bazova loaf pan. Press it down gently to shape it evenly.
-
Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
-
Bake the Meatloaf: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). The glaze should be caramelized and slightly crispy.
-
Rest and Serve: Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it more flavorful and easier to slice.
-
Enjoy: Transfer the meatloaf to a wooden cutting board. Slice and serve your perfectly baked classic meatloaf with a rich tomato glaze on top. Pair it with a side of creamy mashed potatoes and steamed green beans for a complete, comforting meal.
