Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 1 large egg
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup, divided barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk and breadcrumbs. Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the liquid.
Add the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, paprika, 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped parsley to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a sturdy spoon until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down firmly to shape it into a loaf.
Spread half of the remaining barbecue sauce (about 1/2 cup) evenly over the top of the loaf.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes.
Remove the loaf from the oven and spread the remaining 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce over the top. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the loaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Carefully remove the meatloaf from the pan, slice, and serve warm. Pair with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh side salad.
