Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Ground beef (80/20)
- 1 large Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cups Ketchup
- 2 teaspoons Yellow mustard
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 cup ketchup, mustard, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Using clean hands or a sturdy spoon, mix until evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared baking sheet or dish, shaping it into a loaf about 12 inches long and 6 inches wide. Alternatively, press it into the loaf pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce to create the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf with a spoon or brush.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 160°F (71°C) on a meat thermometer.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes after removing it from the oven to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice into thick portions and serve warm. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
