Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands or a wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
2
Transfer the meat mixture to a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf shape on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the meat loaf is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
3
While the meat loaf is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Brush the glaze all over the meat loaf during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
