1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it in a baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce for the glaze.
Spread half of the glaze over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake for 45 minutes.

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon of olive oil to the meat mixture.
If you don’t have breadcrumbs, you can use crushed crackers or oats.
Feel free to add other seasonings like garlic powder or paprika to the meat mixture.
