This Granny’s Classic Meatloaf never gets old! I’ve been making this for years now. My family and I are still in love with it to this day! Everything about this is perfect. From the meatloaf itself to the topping, you will surely love it!

INGREDIENTS :

Meatloaf:

• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 c panko bread crumbs
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 large Egg
• 2 lbs. ground beef
• 1 c milk
• 1 medium-sized onion (diced)
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Topping:

• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp spicy brown mustard
• ½ c ketchup

DIRECTIONS :

1. Prepare the oven and preheat it to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.
2. Line parchment paper onto a baking sheet.
3. Place a pan on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add butter and allow it to melt. Add the onions, then sauté for a few minutes until a bit caramelized.
4. Add the garlic, then sauté just until aromatic.
5. Remove the pan from the heat and let the sauteed veggies cool for a few minutes.
6. Add ground beef, salt, thyme, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, milk, bread crumbs, onion, and egg into a large bowl. Use your hands to mix everything until well incorporated. Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a meatloaf.
7. Create crisscross patterns over the meatloaf with a knife. Bake the meatloaf for about 40 minutes.
8. In a mixing bowl, add ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar. Stir to mix, then brush the meatloaf with it. Bake for another half an hour.
9. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes:

• Make sure not to overmix the meatloaf. Mix it just until it comes together.
• I recommend the use of an instant-read thermometer to check the doneness of the meatloaf. It should read about 160 degrees C.
