Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 1 tsp mustard
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
• 0.5 cup ketchup (for glaze)
• 2 tbsp brown sugar (for glaze)
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, salt, black pepper, paprika, and parsley. Use clean hands or a spatula to gently mix until evenly combined. Do not overmix.

Step 3

Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a loaf about 8 inches long and 4 inches wide, or press it into the loaf pan, smoothing the top.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze.

Step 5

Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 6

Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top. Return to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it hold its shape when cut.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
