Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, dried parsley, salt, and ground black pepper. Use clean hands or a spatula to mix everything together until fully combined, but do not overmix.

Step 3

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to form an even loaf.

Step 4

In a small bowl, prepare the glaze by mixing the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.

Step 5

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 6

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes in the pan. This allows the juices to redistribute for a moist loaf.

Step 8

Carefully remove the meatloaf from the pan and transfer it to a serving plate. Slice and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a fresh salad.
