- 0.75 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk use whole or 2% milk
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overworking the meat.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared loaf pan or on the baking sheet. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- In a small bowl, mix the ketchup and brown sugar. Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf before baking.
- Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, spread the remaining glaze over the top, then return to the oven and bake an additional 15 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) is reached.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your choice of sides.
Notes
Make-ahead option: shape the loaf and refrigerate uncovered for up to 24 hours before baking to deepen flavors. Leftovers keep well for 3 days.
