Classic American Glazed Meatloaf Recipe

American · Main course · 75 min total

A comforting, juicy meatloaf with a tangy-sweet glaze that caramelizes beautifully in the oven. This recipe uses a blend of ground beef and pork for extra flavor and moisture.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain)
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease.
2. Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Let cool slightly.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce for the glaze. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, salt, pepper, and the cooked onion mixture. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overmix.
5. Transfer meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape into a loaf. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the glaze over the top.
6. Bake for 45 minutes. Spread remaining glaze over the top and bake for another 15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
7. Let meatloaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra glaze on the side if desired.

Tips

• For a leaner option, use ground turkey or chicken, but add 1 tablespoon of oil to keep it moist.
• Leftover meatloaf makes excellent sandwiches the next day.
• If you don't have a loaf pan, shape the meatloaf on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake as directed.
