Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef (80/20)
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, diced onion, minced garlic, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together gently with your hands or a spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down evenly to create a uniform shape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard to make the glaze.
Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf, reserving the rest for later.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes. Then, remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes and green beans.
