Classic Beef Meatloaf

Let’s get started with this classic recipe that’ll have everyone gathering around the dinner table. Don’t worry, it’s easier than getting your cat to accept that you’ve brought home a dog.

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
1 cup bread crumbs
1 onion, chopped
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup ketchup (okay, more if you’re adventurous)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1 cup grated cheese, if you really want to impress someone.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (that’s about 175°C for those who use fancy numbers).
In a large bowl, toss together the ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, eggs, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Get in there and mix it up like you’re giving it a good back massage. Don’t hesitate to use your hands; it’s all part of the experience!
Once everything is well combined, shape the mixture into a loaf that would put your local baker’s sourdough to shame. Place it into a greased loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (75°C). You can stick a meat thermometer in there, but if you don’t have one, just trust your instincts - you’ve got this!
Once it’s looking golden brown and the kitchen smells heavenly, take it out and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Letting it rest is crucial; it’s like giving it a little time-out for all its hard work!
Slice it up and serve with your favorite sides. If you didn’t burn the edges, you’re basically a kitchen wizard!

Now you’re ready to enjoy a delicious slice of Classic Beef Meatloaf that’s sure to impress! It’s the perfect way to bring everyone together for a meal, and who knows? You might even inspire a meatloaf fan club!
