2. Add the Binders: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/4 cup ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. The eggs help bind everything together, while the milk keeps the meatloaf moist. Slowly pour this mixture over the meat mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper, then gently fold everything together until fully combined. Make sure every ingredient is evenly distributed, but again, avoid overmixing. ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ถ
3. Shape the Meatloaf: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan. Transfer the meat mixture to the baking sheet and shape it into a loaf. Press it down slightly, ensuring that the loaf is compact enough to hold its shape during baking. If using a loaf pan, simply press the mixture evenly into the pan. ๐ฅฉ๐
4. Bake the Meatloaf: Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes. Halfway through baking, remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush the top with an additional 1/4 cup of ketchup. This glaze will create a tangy, sweet topping that perfectly complements the savory meat. Return the meatloaf to the oven to finish baking. ๐ ๐งโ๐ณ
5. Rest and Serve: After baking, allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps lock in the juices and makes the meatloaf easier to slice cleanly. Serve with mashed potatoes and veggies for a comforting meal. ๐ฝ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฅ
