A delicious and easy-to-make meatloaf recipe with a savory twist.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatloaf dense.
Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan and press it down evenly.
Pressing the mixture evenly ensures uniform cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar to create the glaze.
Adjust the glaze ingredients to taste for a sweeter or tangier topping.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Use a spatula for a smooth and even application.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatloaf is fully cooked.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meatloaf moist and flavorful.
