Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp Dried parsley
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Mustard
- 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, 1/4 cup of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Using clean hands or a large spoon, gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Press it down gently into an even layer, making sure there are no air pockets.
In a small bowl, prepare the glaze by whisking together the remaining 1/4 cup of ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and apple cider vinegar.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf using a spoon or a spatula.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Carefully lift the meatloaf out of the pan, slice into thick pieces, and serve warm. Pair it with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or any side of your choice.
