How To Make Mouth-Watering Meatloaf

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, minced garlic, and diced onion.
Tear the potato bread into small pieces and add it to the beef mixture.
Add the milk, Worcestershire sauce, chopped sage, salt, ground mustard, pepper, and egg to the mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined, but do not overmix to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the beef mixture to an ungreased baking pan. Shape it into an 8×4-inch loaf.
Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the loaf.
Bake uncovered for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked (an internal temperature of 160°F and no pink center).
Let the loaf rest for 5 minutes before removing it from the pan and slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy the deliciousness!

Pro Tips for the Perfect Meatloaf

Do not overmix the ingredients — it can make the meatloaf dense.
Use potato bread for its softness and slightly sweet flavor that enhances the loaf.
Let the meatloaf rest before slicing to lock in juices and prevent crumbling.
Customize with extras like diced carrots, bell peppers, or a sprinkle of cheese inside for added texture and flavor.
