Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This crucial step sets the stage for cooking your tremendous meatloaf evenly and thoroughly.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, finely chopped onion, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Using your hands or a large fork, mix until all the ingredients are well combined. The textures should meld together nicely without overworking the meat.
-
Once mixed, gently form the mixture into a loaf shape. This is where you can let your creativity shine; ensure it holds together well but doesn’t get too compact. Place your formed loaf in a baking dish, which will catch any flavorful juices as it cooks.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour. Keep an eye on the internal temperature, which should reach a tremendous 160°F (70°C) for safe consumption.
