Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.33 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 0.25 cup ketchup (for topping)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic, egg, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix everything together with your hands or a spatula until evenly combined, but do not overmix to avoid a dense meatloaf.

Step 3

Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan. Press it down gently to shape it into an even loaf.

Step 4

In a small bowl, prepare the topping by mixing together 1/4 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Spread this glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 5

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 6

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring a moist loaf.

Step 7

Slice and serve the meatloaf warm. Pair with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a comforting meal.
