Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Ground beef
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.75 cup Ketchup
- 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup Ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, onion, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, paprika, and parsley. Mix gently with your hands until everything is evenly incorporated. Avoid overmixing as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Smooth out the top with a spatula.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar for the glaze. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes. This will help it hold its shape when sliced.
Carefully transfer the meatloaf to a serving platter and slice into thick pieces. Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
