Meatloaf

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a skillet, sauté the finely chopped onion and minced garlic in a small amount of oil over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sirloin, sautéed onion and garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Form Meatloaf

    Transfer the meat mixture to a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  5. 5

    Top with Ketchup

    Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

  7. 7

    Rest and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
