Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, green bell pepper, bread crumbs, beaten eggs, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until fully incorporated.
  3. Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down evenly.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.
  5. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread an additional 2 tablespoons of ketchup over the top as a glaze.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  7. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a tangier glaze, mix ketchup with a tablespoon of brown sugar and a teaspoon of mustard before spreading on top. Swap ground beef with ground turkey for a leaner option. Serve alongside mashed potatoes and green beans for a complete meal.
