Ingredients
For the Meatloaf
- ½ cup plain dried breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ cup milk
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
- 1 small yellow onion, finely minced
For the Topping
- ⅔ cup good-quality ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° and have ready a rimmed sheet pan lined with foil, preferably nonstick foil.
- In a large bowl, use a fork to mix together breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add the milk, egg, and Worcestershire and mix once more.
- Add the ground beef and minced onion and mix with your hands until all of the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and shape into a narrow loaf (the meatloaf will spread as it bakes).
- To make the topping, combine ketchup, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
- Pour half of the sauce mixture over the meatloaf and bake for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven, carefully pour over the remaining sauce, and bake an additional 30-35 minutes.
- Allow the meatloaf to rest about 15 minutes before slicing into. Serve and enjoy!
