I asked ChatGPT to help me figure out dinner using ingredients I already had, and it suggested this meatloaf. It was a huge hit—even my kids ate it! 🍽️
Easy Homemade Meatloaf
Ingredients
* 1 lb ground beef/pork mixture
* 1 egg
* ½ cup breadcrumbs
* ¼ cup milk
* 1 tbsp dried minced onion
* 1 tsp garlic powder
* 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
* 1 tsp Italian seasoning
* ½ tsp salt
* ½ tsp black pepper
Optional Glaze
* ¼ cup ketchup
* 1 tbsp brown sugar
* 1 tsp yellow mustard
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef/pork mixture, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, dried minced onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix everything together just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
4. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a loaf pan or on a lined baking sheet.
5. If using the glaze, mix the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard together and spread it evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
6. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
7. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
