Ingredients

Scale

1 lb of ground beef (80% lean for taste and juiciness)

1 oz onion soup mix (essential for strong taste)

1 cup of breadcrumbs (either plain or Italian seasoned)

1/2 cup of milk (maintains moisture in the meatloaf)

1 large egg (used as a binder for cutting)

1/4 cup ketchup (additional for glazing)

1/4 cup of beef stock (boosts taste)

1 teaspoon garlic powder (provides warmth)

1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (introduces depth)

Instructions

  • Preparation and Preheating: First, you should prepare your oven by setting it to the needed temperature, 350°F (175°C), before beginning the cooking process. It is advisable to grease a loaf pan or use a baking dish that you will cover with parchment paper for ease of cleanup.
  • Mix Ingredients Carefully: Mix the ground beef, the onion soup mix, the breadcrumbs, the milk, the egg, the ketchup, the broth, the garlic powder, the Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. After that, use a fork or your hands to combine the ingredients gently, partially because product overmixing will result in excessive cohesiveness. The combination must harmonise and release a good aroma from the onion soup mix.
  • Shape the Mixture into a Loaf: Bake at 350 deg.F until done. For the combined mixture put into the pan and shape it like a loaf. There’s one exact science in shaping this up to ensure even browning and helps eliminate the compacted structure often associated with meatloaf.
  • Add Glaze and Bake: Spread another layer of ketchup on top of the bread as well. This not only serves as a glaze to create a shiny crust to your desserts, but also helps lock in moisture during baking. Cook the meatloaf in the preheated oven for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until its internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  • Let it Rest: When the meatloaf is ready to be removed from the oven, it is important it cools for about a decade. This important action helps to retain moisture and allow the different flavours to meld together.
  • Cut and Serve Beautifully: Serving meatloaf, try to cut it carefully and serve it with relish such as buttery mashed potatoes, crisp and fluently steamed vegetables or a new improved salad. With each piece to be highlighted on the strength of the onion while the ketchup covering would seize the eyes.

Notes

  1. Bread Crumb Variation: Crunch: Turn existing bread into new breadcrumbs for better taste and texture.
  2. For Cheese Enthusiasts: Add in shredded cheddar for an increase in creaminess of the sauce.
  3. Transforming Leftovers: Meatloaf can be repurposed for a tasty sandwich. Enjoy the bread with some cold meatloaf in it and garnish it with lettuce,tomato and finally mustard to give the lunch meal an extra taste.
  4. Accompany with a full-bodied red wine, or iced tea, to escalate the intensity of the hearty meatloaf taste.
