Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.33 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.25 cup ketchup (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic, egg, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix everything together with your hands or a spatula until evenly combined, but do not overmix to avoid a dense meatloaf.
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan. Press it down gently to shape it into an even loaf.
In a small bowl, prepare the topping by mixing together 1/4 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Spread this glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring a moist loaf.
Slice and serve the meatloaf warm. Pair with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a comforting meal.
