Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup, divided ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, 1/4 cup of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with clean hands or a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a loaf, approximately 9x5 inches in size.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup of ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard to make the glaze.
Brush the glaze evenly over the top and sides of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and moist result.
Slice and serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes and green beans.
