Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
• 2 large egg
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon mustard
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar (for glaze)
• 0.25 cup additional ketchup (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, garlic powder, parsley, salt, black pepper, and mustard. Use clean hands or a large spoon to mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 3

Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it into an even loaf, pressing it lightly to remove air pockets.

Step 4

In a small bowl, make the glaze by mixing the light brown sugar and additional ketchup until smooth. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices and makes the meatloaf easier to slice cleanly.

Step 7

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a crisp salad. Enjoy!
