Ingredients

1 large egg ($0.18)

⅓ cup milk ($0.09)

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce ($0.02)

½ cup plain breadcrumbs ($0.16)

1 tsp Italian seasoning ($0.10)

½ tsp garlic powder ($0.05)

1 tsp salt ($0.02)

¼ tsp black pepper (freshly cracked, $0.05)

½ cup minced onion ($0.22)

1½ lbs. ground beef (80/20, $7.95*)

½ cup ketchup ($0.30)

1 Tbsp brown sugar ($0.03**)

1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce ($0.05)

1 tsp yellow mustard ($0.01)

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In a small bowl whisk together the egg, milk, and Worcestershire sauce. In a separate small bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mince the onion.

2 Add the ground beef, egg mixture, breadcrumb mixture, and minced onion to a large bowl. Use your hands to mix the ingredients together until evenly combined. Avoid over mixing.

3 Place the meat mixture on a rimmed baking dish and shape it into a loaf that is approximately 4-inches wide, 8-inches long, and 2-inches tall.

4 In a separate small bowl, stir together the glaze ingredients (ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard). Spread the glaze evenly over the top and sides of the meatloaf.

5 Bake the meatloaf for 50-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF. Allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes after baking, then slice and serve.
