Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely diced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, diced yellow onion, minced garlic, 1/4 cup of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, and paprika.
Use your hands or a large spoon to mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet or pack it into the loaf pan.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup of ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard to make the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the shaped meatloaf.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy your celebratory birthday dinner!
