Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup, divided ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, 1/4 cup of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with clean hands or a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 3

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a loaf, approximately 9x5 inches in size.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup of ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard to make the glaze.

Step 5

Brush the glaze evenly over the top and sides of the meatloaf.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.

Step 7

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and moist result.

Step 8

Slice and serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes and green beans.
