Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, Parmesan cheese, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together gently using your hands or a wooden spoon until fully combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense meatloaf.
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it into the prepared loaf pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Spread this glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (70°C).
Once done, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meatloaf moist.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes and green beans. Enjoy Melinda's Tasty Meatloaf!
