Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (preferably 80/20)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 large egg
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.75 cup barbecue sauce
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and shape it into an even loaf.
In a small bowl, mix the barbecue sauce and ketchup. Spread half of this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining barbecue-ketchup mixture over the top. Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Carefully transfer the meatloaf to a serving platter, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and slice to serve. Enjoy!
