Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 medium onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.33 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 large garlic cloves (for glaze)
- 0.25 cup ketchup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray or loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Reserve 2 minced garlic cloves for the glaze.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onion, 1 egg, 3 minced garlic cloves, breadcrumbs, milk, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoons ketchup, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared baking tray or loaf pan and shape it into a loaf.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
While the meatloaf bakes, make the honey garlic glaze: In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the 2 reserved minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1/4 cup ketchup. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then remove it from heat.
After 40 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush the top generously with the honey garlic glaze.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra glaze drizzled on top if desired.
