Ingredients
Scale
- 2.5 lbs 90/10 ground beef (I use sirloin)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 diced onion
- 1 1/3 cup ketchup (2/3 mixed into meatloaf mixture and 2/3 cup on top)
- 1 cup plain panko
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- Optional: veggies such as shredded carrots, bell pepper, or zucchini, and shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix together all ingredients (minus ⅔ cup ketchup to reserve for top)
- Don’t overmix.
- Add all items to 9×13 pan
- Bake at 350 for 30 minutes
- Remove and drain any excess juice/fat
- Add additional ⅔ cup ketchup on top and brush to coat
- Bake an additional 10 minutes
- Turn the oven to broil and broil until your preferred level of crispiness. (I do 3-5 minutes)
Notes
You can substitute ground chicken or ground turkey for the beef in this recipe. If your chicken or turkey is leaner than 90/10, you might want to add a bit of avocado oil or another neutral oil to add additional fat content to the mixture.
For a sweeter glaze, add a pinch of brown sugar to your ketchup.
