Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef (80/20 lean to fat ratio)
- 1 cup Plain breadcrumbs
- 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Ketchup
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning mix, eggs, milk, diced onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Use clean hands or a sturdy spatula to gently mix until all the ingredients are just combined. Avoid overmixing, as it can make the meatloaf dense.
Transfer the meatloaf mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to ensure it fills all corners but doesn’t become overly compacted.
Spread 1/2 cup of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf, creating a glossy glaze.
Place the loaf pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Carefully remove the meatloaf from the pan and transfer it to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Slice and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
