Instructions

Plan my prep
  1. Step 1.Heat oven to 175 C (350 F) and line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. Step 2.In a small bowl, soak the breadcrumbs in the milk for 5 minutes until absorbed.
  3. Step 3.In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, soaked breadcrumbs, eggs, Worcestershire, 60 ml ketchup, salt, and pepper.
  4. Step 4.Mix gently with your hands just until combined; overmixing makes the loaf dense.
  5. Step 5.Transfer to the baking sheet and shape into a loaf about 23 by 13 cm (9 by 5 inches).
  6. Step 6.Whisk the glaze ingredients (120 ml ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar) together and brush half over the loaf.
  7. Step 7.Bake 40 minutes, then brush on the remaining glaze.
  8. Step 8.Continue baking 15 to 20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 71 C (160 F).
  9. Step 9.Rest the meatloaf 10 minutes before slicing so the juices redistribute.
  10. Step 10.Slice thick and serve.
