Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup Ketchup (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°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, eggs, diced onion, minced garlic, 1/2 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, parsley, and paprika.

Step 3

Using clean hands or a large spoon, mix until all the ingredients are evenly combined, being careful not to overmix as this can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 4

Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape on the prepared baking sheet or press it evenly into the loaf pan.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to create the glaze.

Step 6

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf, ensuring it is fully coated for extra flavor.

Step 7

Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) using a meat thermometer.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve hot with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a fresh garden salad.
