Servings: 6

Ingredients

Ground beef (1 1/2 pounds)
Onion (1 medium, finely chopped)
Mushrooms (1 cup, finely chopped)
Breadcrumbs (1 cup)
Egg (1, beaten)
Worcestershire sauce (2 tablespoons)
Ketchup (1/2 cup, plus extra for topping)
Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
Dried thyme (1 teaspoon)
Salt (1 teaspoon)
Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
Olive oil (1 tablespoon (for sautéing))

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the chopped onions and mushrooms until softened and aromatic, about 5-7 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, sautéed onion and mushroom mixture, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined, but do not overmix.
Transfer the mixture to a greased loaf pan and shape it into a loaf.
Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf, using a spatula to create an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to ensure it holds its shape.
Serve hot, with extra ketchup on the side if desired. Enjoy your savory meatloaf with your choice of sides!
