A comforting, timeless dish — juicy meatloaf flavored with onions, garlic, and a sweet-savory glaze on top. Perfect for cozy family dinners!
Ingredients
For the Meatloaf:
- 500 g ground meat (beef or a beef/veal mix)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- 100 g breadcrumbs
- 60 ml milk
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika (optional)
For the Glaze:
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven:
Preheat to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. - Prepare the meatloaf mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using).
Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the meatloaf tender. - Shape and place in the pan:
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press lightly to shape it into a loaf. - Make the glaze:
In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard (if using). - Add the glaze:
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf. - Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F). - Rest before serving:
Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it stay juicy. - Serve:
Slice and serve hot with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
Tips for Success:
- For an even juicier meatloaf, you can mix in a little ground pork.
- You can also sauté the onion and garlic lightly before adding them for a milder, sweeter flavor.
- Leftovers are fantastic for sandwiches the next day!
