Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 0.25 cup Ketchup (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Mix gently with your hands until everything is evenly combined, but do not overmix.

Step 3

Transfer the meatloaf mixture into the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a loaf, gently pressing it into the pan while ensuring the top is smooth and slightly rounded.

Step 4

In a small bowl, prepare the glaze by mixing the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 5

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute for a moist meatloaf.

Step 7

Carefully remove the meatloaf from the pan, slice it into thick servings, and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 8

Serve hot with mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetables for a comforting, complete meal. Enjoy!
