Gather @ground beef{900%g} and @black pepper{}.

Heat the oven to 175°C and line a loaf pan with parchment, leaving overhang on the long sides.

Soak the @breadcrumbs{80%g} in the @milk{100%ml} for 5 minutes until absorbed. ~{5%minutes}

In a large bowl, combine the beef, soaked breadcrumbs, @egg{2}, @onion{1}, half the @ketchup{100%g}, the @worcestershire sauce{1%tbsp}, @garlic powder{1%tsp}, @salt{1%tsp} and pepper.

Press the mixture into the loaf pan and smooth the top.

Stir the remaining ketchup with the @brown sugar{1%tbsp} and spread it over the top as a glaze.

Bake 50 minutes until the internal temperature reads 71°C and the top is caramelized. ~{50%minutes}

Rest 10 minutes before lifting out and slicing — it holds together far better once it cools slightly. ~{10%minutes}
