Instructions
Mix the Meatloaf
In a large microwave-safe mug, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well with a fork until fully combined.
Shape and Top
Press the meat mixture down firmly into the mug to compact it, then spread the remaining tablespoon of ketchup evenly over the top.
Microwave Until Cooked
Microwave on high for 3 minutes, then check the internal temperature. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals until the meatloaf reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit and is fully cooked through.
Rest and Serve
Let the meatloaf rest in the mug for 2 minutes before eating to allow the juices to redistribute and the temperature to even out.
