Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams extra lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and parsley (if using).
Mix the ingredients together gently using your hands or a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix to ensure the meatloaf stays tender.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a loaf, pressing gently to remove any air pockets.
In a small bowl, mix the ketchup and mustard together to make the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when checked with a food thermometer.
Once fully cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your easy pleasing extra lean meatloaf with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables!
