Old-Fashioned Meatloaf Like Mom Made

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, egg, milk, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix gently (don’t overwork the meat).

3. Form mixture into a loaf shape and place in the pan.

4. In a small bowl, whisk ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Spread half over the meatloaf.

5. Bake for 45 minutes. Spread the remaining glaze on top.

6. Bake an additional 15 minutes (total about 1 hour), until cooked through.

7. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

✨ Why It’s Special
