Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 medium (finely chopped) onion
• 3 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Use your hands or a large spoon to mix until well incorporated, but avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 3

Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan and press it down evenly, shaping the top into a slight dome.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, Dijon mustard, and brown sugar to create the glaze. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 5

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 6

Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing to ensure it holds its shape.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad for a complete meal.
