A quick and flavorful meatloaf recipe prepared in the microwave, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Combine the ground beef, egg, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and tomato sauce in a mixing bowl until well mixed.
Mix gently to avoid compacting the meat, which can make the meatloaf dense.
Pat the mixture into a microwave-safe loaf pan, shaping it evenly.
Ensure the loaf is evenly shaped for uniform cooking.
Microwave the loaf on high power for 7 minutes. Carefully remove and blot any excess grease.
Use a paper towel to blot the grease for a cleaner presentation.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and mustard to make the glaze.
Adjust the sweetness of the glaze by varying the amount of sugar.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf and microwave on high for an additional 5 minutes.
Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the juices to settle.
Slice the meatloaf and serve warm. Enjoy your meal!
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color.
