1. 1Heat oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment. Mix breadcrumbs and milk in a large bowl and let soak for 5 minutes.
2. 2Add eggs, onion, garlic, Worcestershire, salt and pepper and mix well. Add beef and gently combine with clean hands just until evenly mixed; avoid kneading it tightly.
3. 3Shape into a loaf about 9 inches long and 5 inches wide on the prepared sheet. Whisk ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar together; spread half over the loaf.
4. 4Bake for 45 minutes, then brush with the remaining glaze. Bake another 15–30 minutes until a thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F. Total baking time is usually 60–75 minutes; temperature, not color, determines doneness.
5. 5Rest for 10 minutes before cutting into six thick slices. Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans if desired.
6. 6Refrigerate slices within 2 hours for up to 3–4 days. Reheat leftovers to 165°F, covering them to help retain moisture.
