Classic American Meatloaf with Ketchup Glaze - Simple & Hearty
A classic from the USA that warms the heart: This American meatloaf with its irresistibly sweet and savory ketchup glaze is true soul food you simply must try. As a little cat with a penchant for fine cuisine, I love how straightforward and honest this dish is. The meatloaf is baked juicy in the oven, while the glaze forms a wonderful caramelized crust. I serve it with crisp green beans that harmonize perfectly with the savory meat. This meal is ideal if you want to reward yourself after a long day without spending hours in the kitchen. All you need are fresh ingredients and a little attention to detail. Preparation is child's play and guaranteed to succeed even for cooking beginners. Grab your apron and let's prepare this hearty US highlight together, which even a critical cat stomach wouldn't turn down!
Ingredients
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and finely dice the onion (1).
In a bowl, thoroughly mix the ground beef (250 g), onion (1), breadcrumbs (30 g), and egg (1) with your hands.
Shape the meat mixture into a small loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread the ketchup (50 g) generously over the shaped meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf for about 35 minutes in the oven until nicely browned.
While the meatloaf is cooking, clean the green beans (200 g) and sauté them in a pan with butter (10 g) for about 10 minutes until crisp-tender.
Serve the finished meatloaf directly with the crisp green beans (200 g) on a plate.
