Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
- Mix It Up: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, paprika, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix gently—don’t overwork the meat!
- Shape & Bake: Form into a loaf shape on the baking sheet or press into a loaf pan. Bake for 40 minutes.
- Make the Glaze: While it bakes, mix ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and vinegar in a small bowl.
- Glaze & Finish Baking: Remove the meatloaf from the oven, spread the glaze on top, and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the internal temp reaches 160°F (71°C).
