Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional)
- 0.5 cup Ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, diced onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, pepper, and parsley (if using).
Using clean hands or a sturdy spatula, mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Press it down gently to form an even layer and shape it into a loaf.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to create the glaze.
Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Then, remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 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. This helps the juices redistribute and makes for easier slicing.
Slice the meatloaf, serve warm, and enjoy the comfort of Home Sweet Home Meatloaf with your favorite side dishes!
