Ingredients
- 2 lb Ground beef
- 3/4 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Onion
- 1/3 cup Ketchup
- 1.5 lb Green beans
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire
Steps
- Heat the oven to 375°F and line a sheet pan with foil.
- Sauté the diced onion 6 minutes until soft; cool slightly — hot onion will scramble the eggs.
- Mix the beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, cooled onion, Worcestershire, and salt gently with your hands.
- Stop mixing the moment it comes together; overworked meatloaf turns dense.
- Shape into a loaf on the sheet pan — free-forming gives more browned crust than a loaf pan.
- Spread ketchup over the top and bake 55 minutes.
- It is done when the center reads 160°F and the juices run clear.
- While it bakes, steam the green beans 5 minutes until bright and crisp-tender; rest the meatloaf 10 minutes before slicing.
