- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 cup, divided ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, and egg.
Step 3
Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, 1/2 cup of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley to the bowl.
Step 4
Using clean hands or a large spoon, mix everything together thoroughly until well combined.
Step 5
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan and gently press it down to form an even loaf shape.
Step 6
Spread the remaining 1/2 cup of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf as a glaze.
Step 7
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reads 160°F (71°C) on a meat thermometer.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy!
