Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef (80% lean)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.75 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 cup Ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, and dried thyme.
Step 3
Using clean hands or a spatula, mix the ingredients together until they are just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Step 4
Transfer the meatloaf mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to form an even shape.
Step 5
In a small bowl, prepare the glaze by mixing the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Step 6
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and makes it easier to cut.
Step 8
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes and green beans. Enjoy!
