Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef (80/20 lean to fat ratio)
• 1 cup Plain breadcrumbs
• 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 0.75 cup Ketchup
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning mix, eggs, milk, diced onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Use clean hands or a sturdy spatula to gently mix until all the ingredients are just combined. Avoid overmixing, as it can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 3

Transfer the meatloaf mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to ensure it fills all corners but doesn’t become overly compacted.

Step 4

Spread 1/2 cup of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf, creating a glossy glaze.

Step 5

Place the loaf pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

Carefully remove the meatloaf from the pan and transfer it to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 8

Slice and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
