Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds (about 700g) ground beef
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup ketchup (plus more for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for added flavor)

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well using your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan and press it firmly into an even shape.
4. Spread a thin layer of ketchup over the top of the meatloaf for a tangy glaze.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). A meat thermometer is helpful to ensure it’s cooked perfectly.
6. Once done, let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
