- 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (optional, to taste)

- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, milk, egg, torn bread pieces, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder or onion, salt, dry ground mustard, black pepper, hot sauce, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture into an ungreased loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a sheet pan.
- Spread a thin layer of ketchup over the top of the meatloaf.

For added moisture, use lean ground beef but avoid extra-lean. Letting the meatloaf rest helps it maintain its shape when slicing.
