Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cups ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon mustard
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, 1/4 cup of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Using clean hands or a wooden spoon, gently mix the ingredients together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent the meatloaf from becoming tough.
Step 4
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to form an even shape.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup of ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to create the glaze.
Step 6
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf with a spoon or pastry brush.
Step 7
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) as measured by a meat thermometer.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 9
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables, and enjoy!
