Equipment

  • 1 Baking Dish 9x5 inch
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large
  • 1 Meat Thermometer

Ingredients
  

Meatloaf

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 cup mushrooms finely chopped
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Glaze

  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp mustard

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, mushrooms, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, onion, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  • Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a 9x5 inch baking dish. In a small bowl, mix ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to create the glaze.

Baking

  • Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

Serving

  • Let the meatloaf rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your choice of side dishes.

Storage

  • Store any leftover meatloaf in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F until warmed through.

How to Serve: Pair with mashed potatoes or a green salad for a balanced meal.
Storage & Freshness: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
