How to Make Meatloaf Without Ketchup

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Breadcrumb Mixture

  1. In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs and milk.
  2. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until the breadcrumbs absorb the milk.
  3. This helps keep the meatloaf soft and moist.

Step 3: Add the Ingredients

  1. Add ground beef, eggs, chopped onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and seasonings.
  2. Mix gently until everything is combined.
  3. Avoid overmixing because it can make the meatloaf tough.

Step 4: Shape the Meatloaf

  1. Place the mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
  2. Shape it evenly and smooth the top.
  3. You can also shape it directly on a baking sheet for more crispy edges.

Step 5: Add the Savory Topping

  1. Mix olive oil, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
  2. Spread a thin layer over the top of the meatloaf.
  3. This adds flavor without using ketchup.

Step 6: Bake

  1. Bake for 55–60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 7: Rest and Serve

  1. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  2. This helps keep the juices inside.
  3. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
