- Meatloaf:
- 1 cup milk
- 2/3 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ground black pepper to taste
- Topping:
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Pour milk over breadcrumbs in a large bowl; soak until crumbs are softened, at least 5 minutes.
- Mix ground beef, egg, onion, salt, and black pepper with the bread crumbs and milk. Shape the beef mixture into a loaf and transfer to a baking dish.
- Stir ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and nutmeg together in a bowl until smooth; spread over the loaf.
- Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
