Step 2: Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5: Make the Glaze & Bake

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
  2. Brush a generous amount over each meatloaf.
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the meatloaves reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and the potatoes are crispy.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy

  1. Let the meatloaves rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
  3. Serve warm with your favorite side, like steamed veggies or a fresh salad.
