Prep Time
10 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef 85/15 blend
  • 1/2 Tbsp minced onion dried
  • 2 tsp garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 egg or 1 Tbsp mayo
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp steak sauce
  • 1 Tbsp ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce

Glaze

  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 8 x 8 baking dish with aluminum foil, parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  2. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, minced onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and egg and mix just until combined.
  3. Add in breadcrumbs, Italian seasonings, steak sauce, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Mix just until combined
  4. Form the meatloaf into one small loaf and place in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
  6. While the meatloaf is in the oven make the glaze. In a small bowl combine the ketchup, brown sugar and balsamic vinegar and whisk to combine.
  7. After 25 minutes, remove the meatloaf from oven and spoon glaze over top and sides of meatloaf. Then increase the oven temperature to 400°F and bake for an additional 5- 10 minutes or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F when tested with an instant read digital thermometer. At this point the glaze should be set, but if not, place the meatloaf under the broiler (watching it carefully for 2-3 minutes).
  8. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • To reheat, place a slice of meatloaf on a plate and dizzle a few drops of water on top. Microwave on high power for 60-90 seconds or until heated through.
  • You can also freeze the leftovers in an air-tight container for up to 3 months.
