45mMeatloaf is a simple but classic dish. This is a simple, beginner meatloaf recipe. This recipe makes a smaller batch than you may be used to, but it's a great size for 4 people, or for a couple if you want leftovers.

1
2
Crack an egg in a mixing bowl with the ground beef.
3
Add a shot of worcestershire sauce.
4
Add a little mustard. A nice dijon or a german-style mustard is great, but feel free to use your favorite mustard.
5
Add the bread crumbs. This is very important to the texture of your meatloaf.
6
A pinch of salt.
7
Add some fresh cracked black pepper.
8
Mix well. You really should mix by hand to be thorough. Of course use gloves if you're squeamish.

I happen to have a perfect baking dish for this size meatloaf. However, if you don't have a small baking dish, just shape your meatloaf into a loaf shape and place it on any baking dish with a rim (you need the rim to avoid spilling grease in your oven as the meatloaf cooks).
Glaze
1
A proper meatloaf requires a glaze. To make the glaze, start by placing the brown sugar in a dish.
2
Stir in 1 tsp of worcestershire sauce. Give it a taste and feel free to add anything else you might like: a little horeseradish, a squirt of ketchup, some spices, etc.
3
Pour the glaze on top of the meatloaf and spread it evenly.
4
Preheat oven to 400°F
5
Bake the meatloaf at 400°F for about 45-60 minutes. It should be cooked through and at an internal temperature greater than 150°F.
