Classic meatloaf gets a flavorful twist with a brown sugar and ketchup glaze, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients Ground beef, brown sugar, ketchup, onions, eggs, breadcrumbs, and seasoning come together to create a delicious meatloaf.
Mix ground beef with brown sugar, breadcrumbs, onions, eggs, and spices. Ensure even distribution for a consistent texture.
Combine ketchup with additional brown sugar and a hint of vinegar for a tangy-sweet glaze that enhances the meatloaf's flavor.
Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape on a baking sheet or in a loaf pan, ensuring it's evenly shaped for uniform cooking.
Spread the ketchup glaze generously over the meatloaf, covering it completely to infuse every bite with a sweet and tangy flavor.
Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour, or until fully cooked and the glaze is caramelized.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Let the meatloaf rest before slicing for the best results.
Serve the meatloaf with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a side salad for a hearty, satisfying meal that's sure to please.
