Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (80/20)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.25 cup ketchup (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, finely chopped onion, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and parsley.
Mix everything gently but thoroughly with your hands or a wooden spoon until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape on the baking sheet or press it into the loaf pan.
In a small bowl, mix the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard for the topping. Spread this sauce evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (70°C).
Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes after removing it from the oven to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a garden salad.
