Ingredients

  • For the Glaze:
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • For the Meatloaf:
  • ¾ cup dried breadcrumbs
  • 1 small brown onion, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1½ pounds regular ground beef
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian mixed herbs (or dried oregano/thyme)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1½ teaspoons sea salt flakes
  • 1 teaspoon beef stock powder (bouillon)
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F), or 180°C (350°F) fan-forced. Lightly grease and line a loaf pan with baking paper.
  2. Mix glaze ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs and grated onion. Add ketchup, Worcestershire, mustard, ground beef, eggs, garlic, herbs, parsley, salt, stock powder, and pepper. Mix gently by hand until just combined.
  4. Press mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  5. Spread half the glaze over the top of the meatloaf evenly.
  6. Bake for 40 minutes. Remove, spread remaining glaze, and return to oven for another 20 minutes, or until internal temp reaches 70°C (158°F).
  7. Let the meatloaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes. Drain excess juices and reserve if desired.
  8. Transfer to a cutting board, slice into ¾-inch (2 cm) thick pieces, and serve with desired sides and reserved pan juices.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the meat mixture to keep it tender.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing to retain moisture.
  • Use a mix of ground pork and beef for added richness.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
  • Store leftovers for easy sandwiches or meal prep.
