Classic Meatloaf with Steak Sauce

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Meatloaf with Steak Sauce.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lightly greasing an 8x4-inch loaf pan to ensure your meatloaf comes out easily.

2. Step 2

   In a small bowl, mix together soft bread crumbs and milk, letting them soak for a few minutes until they soften up nicely.

3. Step 3

   Meanwhile, grab a large mixing bowl and combine ground beef, chopped onion, diced green bell pepper, three tablespoons of steak sauce, a beaten egg, salt, and black pepper.

4. Step 4

   Get your hands in there and mix everything together until it’s well blended and all the flavors are mingling.

5. Step 5

   Once your bread crumb mixture is ready, add it to the meat mixture and combine everything thoroughly with your hands, ensuring it’s all evenly mixed.

6. Step 6

   Now, transfer this delicious mixture into your prepared loaf pan, shaping it into a lovely loaf.

7. Step 7

   For an extra burst of flavor, brush the top with a quarter cup of steak sauce, and feel free to add a little more if you like it saucy! Pop the loaf into your preheated oven and let it bake for about an hour.

8. Step 8

   You’ll know it’s done when the center is no longer pink and an instant-read thermometer shows at least 160°F (70°C).

   Once it’s out of the oven, let your meatloaf rest for about five minutes before slicing into it.
