Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, 1/4 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together thoroughly using clean hands or a spatula until everything is well combined but not overworked.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down gently to form an even loaf shape.
In a small bowl, stir together the 1/3 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard to make the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf using a spatula or spoon.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Once baked, let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes in the pan to make slicing easier.
Slice the meatloaf and serve warm. It pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.
