Ingredients
Steps
Heat the oven to 180°C / 350°F and soak the breadcrumbs in the milk for 5 minutes.
Mix the meat, soaked crumbs, onion, eggs, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper with your hands until just combined — don't overwork it.
Shape into a free-form loaf on a lined tray so the edges brown.
Whisk the ketchup and brown sugar and brush half over the top.
Bake 50–60 minutes, glazing again at the halfway mark, until it reads 70°C / 160°F. Rest 10 minutes before slicing.
