Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Additional ketchup (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, 1/2 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Use clean hands to gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture to the loaf pan and press it evenly into the shape of a loaf.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the additional 1/4 cup ketchup and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to create the glaze.

Step 6

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

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 and green beans. Enjoy!
