Step 2:
Got it! In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and ground black pepper until thoroughly combined. Add crumbled bread to the mixture and stir until dissolved. Then, mix in ground beef, onion, Cheddar cheese, and carrot until well incorporated. Once everything is thoroughly mixed, transfer the mixture to a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Ready to whip up something delicious!
Step 3:
In a small bowl, blend together brown sugar, ketchup, and mustard until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the meat mixture in the loaf pan, ensuring complete coverage. This step adds a sweet and tangy glaze that will elevate the flavor of your meatloaf.
Step 4:
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 to 75 minutes or until the meatloaf is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. To ensure it’s done, use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center, which should register at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius). Once fully cooked, your delicious meatloaf will be ready to savor!
