Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 cup Bread crumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 Eggs
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Ketchup (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet or loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix until all ingredients are evenly combined, but do not overmix.
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared baking sheet or pan, shaping it into a loaf approximately 8 inches long by 4 inches wide, or press it evenly into the loaf pan.
In a small bowl, prepare the topping by whisking together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard.
Spread the topping evenly over the meatloaf, ensuring it is fully coated.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.
