Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Mix everything together gently with clean hands or a large wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this could make the meatloaf dense.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down to shape it evenly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to make the glaze.

Step 6

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 7

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve the meatloaf warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
