Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.33 cups Ketchup
- 1 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and ground black pepper.
Use clean hands to gently mix all the ingredients together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the meat loaf stays tender.
Shape the mixture into a loaf shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet or press it evenly into the loaf pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to create the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meat loaf, covering it completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 160°F (71°C) on a meat thermometer.
Remove the meat loaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve alongside mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
