Preparing the Meatloaf

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, bread crumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and Dijon mustard. Mix well until fully combined.

    Shape the Meatloaf

    Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it in a greased baking dish or on a lined baking sheet.

    Prepare the Topping

    In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard until smooth.

  5. 5

    Apply the Topping

    Spread the topping mixture evenly over the shaped meatloaf.

  6. 6

    Bake the Meatloaf

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) and the meatloaf is cooked through.

  7. 7

    Rest and Serve

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