Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 medium (finely chopped) onion
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Use your hands or a large spoon to mix until well incorporated, but avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan and press it down evenly, shaping the top into a slight dome.
In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, Dijon mustard, and brown sugar to create the glaze. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing to ensure it holds its shape.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad for a complete meal.
