1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, eggs, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to create the glaze.
