Meatloaf with Sweet Tomato Glaze

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef (85/15)
• 1 cup finely chopped onion

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup ketchup, divided
• 2 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, salt, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the ketchup.

3. 3

   Mix gently with your hands just until combined. Do not overmix to avoid a tough meatloaf.

4. 4

   Shape the meat mixture into a 9x5 inch loaf on the prepared baking sheet.

5. 5

   In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to create the glaze.

6. 6

   Brush the glaze evenly over the top and sides of the meatloaf.

7. 7

   Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

8. 8

   Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
