Cooking Steps

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, garlic, egg, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined.

Step 2

Shape the beef mixture into a loaf and place it in a loaf pan or on a lined baking tray. Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce, then spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 3

Bake the meatloaf until browned and cooked through. Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water and boil until fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes well. Add butter and warm milk, then mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Allow the meatloaf to rest briefly before slicing. Serve thick slices of glazed meatloaf alongside the creamy mashed potatoes.
