🥘Ingredients

For the Meatloaf

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 small onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

For the Glaze

1/4 cup ketchup
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp mustard

For the Rice

1 cup long-grain white rice
2 cups water
1 tsp salt

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, diced onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
3Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
4Transfer the meat mixture into a greased loaf pan.
5Press down firmly to create an even surface.
6In a small bowl, mix ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to make the glaze.
7Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
8Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
9The meatloaf should be browned on top and the juices should run clear when poked with a fork.
10While the meatloaf is baking, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
11In a saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil.
12Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
13Fluff with a fork.
14Once the meatloaf is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
15Serve the meatloaf slices over the cooked rice and enjoy.
