Ingredients

• 2 lbs Ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar (for glaze)
• 0.25 cup Ketchup (for glaze)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes so the breadcrumbs absorb the milk.

Step 3

Add the ground beef, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup ketchup, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined. Avoid overmixing as this can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 4

Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet, or press it into the loaf pan.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, 1/4 cup ketchup, and Dijon mustard to make the glaze. Spread half of the glaze evenly over the meatloaf.

Step 6

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, then remove it from the oven and spread the remaining glaze on top.

Step 7

Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
