Classic Homemade Meatloaf Recipe

Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 1 hour
Yields: 4 servings

Meatloaf mania is taking over, and we’re not mad about it! Get ready to sink your teeth into the juiciest, most tender meatloaf of your life.

This classic recipe is a game-changer, folks! It’s quick, easy, and packed with flavor. You’ll be the star of the dinner table with this bad boy.

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. While that’s heating up, let’s get our meatloaf mixture ready. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, milk, bread crumbs, and an egg. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. Now, it’s time for the sauce! In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Pour the sauce over the meatloaf and spread it evenly.

Pop that baby into the oven and bake for about an hour, or until the meatloaf is no longer pink in the center. You can use an instant-read thermometer to check the doneness – it should read 160 degrees F.

Once it’s done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. And don’t forget to store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days or freeze for up to four months.

Some of our fellow meatloaf lovers have shared their own twists on this recipe. Try adding green peppers or using honey BBQ sauce instead of ketchup for a sweet and tangy flavor.

So, what are you waiting for? Get your meatloaf on and enjoy the oohs and aahs from your family and friends!
