Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, beaten eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined—do not overmix.
• Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape into a loaf, smoothing the top with a spatula.
• In a small bowl whisk together the brown sugar, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce to make the glaze.
• Spread about half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf before baking, reserving the rest for later.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). About 10 minutes before the end of baking, brush the remaining glaze over the top.
• Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes to set. Then transfer to a cutting board and slice.
• Serve warm with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
