Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 2 large egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are just combined. Do not overmix to avoid a dense meatloaf.
Step 3
Shape the mixture into a loaf shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet, or transfer it into the prepared loaf pan. Gently press it into an even shape.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard to make the glaze.
Step 5
Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf using a spoon or small spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining glaze on top.
Step 7
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
Step 8
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
