Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf on a parchment-lined sheet pan or in a loaf pan.
  4. Prepare the glaze by mixing ketchup, brown sugar, and hot sauce in a bowl. Reserve half for later.
