Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup Ketchup (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, diced onion, minced garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, and paprika. Mix well using your hands or a spoon until fully combined.

Step 3

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan. Shape it into a loaf if using a baking sheet, ensuring the meatloaf is evenly packed for uniform cooking.

Step 4

In a small bowl, make the glaze by whisking together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.

Step 5

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to settle, making slicing easier.

Step 8

Slice and serve your Wonderful Meatloaf warm. Pair it with your favorite sides for a delicious meal!
