Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Mix everything together gently with clean hands or a large wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this could make the meatloaf dense.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down to shape it evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to make the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the meatloaf warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
