Super Duper Easy Meatloaf

An easy weeknight-friendly meatloaf recipe that takes just minutes to put together and 45 minutes to bake. This has become a go-to recipe for our family!

This Super Duper Easy Meatloaf recipe just takes just a few minutes to put together, 45 minutes to cook and VOILA! A satisfying, comfort meal after a long day. The perfect weeknight meal. Your whole kitchen will smell amazing as well!

The sauce on the top isn’t just plain ol’ ketchup. Well, there is ketchup, but it features a secret ingredient – ground mustard! The ground mustard gives the sauce an incredible kick. Once it starts to cook in the oven, it will fill your kitchen with a wonderful aroma that will have your family checking in every 5 minutes saying “Is dinner ready yet???”

First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.

Simply toss your meatloaf ingredients (1 1/2 pounds of ground beef, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt and pepper, 1 small diced onion, 1 cup of rolled oats and 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs into a mixer bowl.

Set your stand mixer to “Low” and mix only until all of the ingredients are well incorporated; this should take only about 20 – 30 seconds.

Using a stand mixer will help you ensure that all of the ingredients are mixed very well together. You can certainly also use your hands to mix these ingredients. If you do, I recommend using disposable gloves to keep your hands clean.

Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan.

I highly recommend using a meatloaf pan. It makes it so much easier to get the meatloaf out of the pan. Plus, it drains a lot of the fat while it cooks.

In a small bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups of ketchup, 1 1/2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce and 2 teaspoons ground mustard. Set aside about 1/2 a cup of the sauce if you’d like some dipping sauce on the side.

Pour the rest of the sauce on to the meatloaf and spoon it evenly throughout the top of the meatloaf.

Bake it at 375 degress F for 45 minutes.

Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before you transfer it to a serving dish.

Serve with your favorite side dish! Enjoy!
