A delicious and quick meatloaf recipe made in the microwave, perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.
Combine the ground beef, ground turkey, onion, garlic, egg, tomato sauce, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the loaf dense.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a microwave-safe loaf pan.
Ensure the loaf is evenly shaped for consistent cooking.
Microwave the loaf on high power for 6 minutes.
Cover the pan with microwave-safe wrap to retain moisture.
While the loaf is cooking, mix the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl.
Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved for a smooth sauce.
Pour the sauce over the partially cooked loaf and microwave for an additional 5-7 minutes.
Check the internal temperature to ensure the loaf is fully cooked.
Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the loaf more moist.
