Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup ketchup
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, salt, pepper, egg, breadcrumbs, and ketchup.
-
Mix Well: Using your hands or a spoon, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Ensure that the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Shape the Meatloaf: Press the meat mixture firmly into an 8-inch loaf pan, ensuring it’s evenly distributed and compacted.
-
Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the top is golden brown.
-
Drain Excess Fat: Once cooked, carefully remove the meatloaf from the oven and drain any excess fat that has accumulated in the pan.
-
Let it Rest: Allow the meatloaf to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful meatloaf.
-
Serve: Slice the meatloaf into thick slices and serve hot alongside your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp salad.
