Method

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. Soak the breadcrumbs in the milk for 5 minutes.
  3. Combine the beef, soaked breadcrumbs, eggs, onion, garlic, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Mix gently with your hands.
  4. Shape into a loaf about 9 by 5 inches on the baking sheet.
  5. Stir the ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar together. Spread half over the loaf.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes, then brush on the remaining glaze and bake 15 minutes more, until it reads 160°F in the center.
  7. Rest 10 minutes before slicing.
Kitchen tipBaking free-form on a sheet gives you more glazed, caramelized edges than a loaf pan.
