Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, onion, garlic, parsley, thyme, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to form an even shape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze.
Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf with a spoon or brush.
Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Remove it from the oven, spread the remaining glaze over the top, and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help it hold its shape.
Slice the meatloaf and serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
