Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef
• 1 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup Dried breadcrumbs
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons Dried parsley
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, milk, breadcrumbs, eggs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Use your hands or a sturdy spoon to mix everything until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can lead to a dense meatloaf.

Step 3

Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down so it evenly fills the pan and is slightly domed on top. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.

Step 4

In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard until well combined. This will be the glaze for the meatloaf.

Step 5

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf, ensuring it's fully covered.

Step 6

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (70°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Carefully lift the meatloaf out of the pan, slice it into even pieces, and serve warm. Pair it with mashed potatoes and green beans for a classic meal.
