Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional)
• 0.5 cup ketchup (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, paprika, and chopped parsley (if using). Mix well with clean hands or a wooden spoon until fully combined, but do not overmix.

Step 3

Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a loaf, approximately 9x5 inches in size.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients: 0.5 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar. Spread the glaze evenly over the top and sides of the meatloaf.

Step 5

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Insert a meat thermometer into the center of the loaf for accurate measurement.

Step 6

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

Slice into thick pieces and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
