Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Press mixture evenly into a loaf pan.
- In a small bowl, combine tomato paste, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and a little water to make a smooth sauce.
- Pour up to 1 cup of beef broth over the meatloaf. Spread the tomato paste sauce on top, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt, pepper, and brown sugar.
- Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until fully cooked through (internal temp should reach 160°F / 71°C).
- Let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Make it juicy: Don’t overmix the meat, which can make it tough.
Breadcrumb swap: Use crushed crackers, oats, or panko instead of bread for a different texture.
Add veggies: Finely grated carrots or zucchini add moisture and nutrition.
Double batch: Bake two loaves at once and freeze one for later meals.
Glaze variation: Swap tomato paste for ketchup if you prefer a sweeter topping.
