Meatloaf Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 med onion
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 2 large eggs
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 Tbsp ketchup
• 3 Tbsp fresh parsley
• 3/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 3/4 cup ketchup
• 1 1/2 tsp white vinegar
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder

Instructions

1. 1

   Prep - Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup, and preheat oven to 350°F.

2. 2

   Sautee Onions - Set a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tsp oil and chopped onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.

3. 3

   Make the Meatloaf Mixture - In a large bowl, add all of the meatloaf ingredients and mix just until well combined (your hands are your best tool for mixing - put on disposable gloves if you want to).

4. 4

   Shape Meatloaf and Bake - Add meat to the pan and shape it into a meatloaf about 8 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 3 inches tall. Bake uncovered at 350˚F for 40 minutes.

5. 5

   Make the Sauce - In a small bowl, add the sauce ingredients and stir to combine.

6. 6

   Add the Glaze - Spread the sauce over the Meatloaf, then return to the oven and bake an additional 20 minutes or until the internal temperature is 160˚F on an instant-read thermometer. Rest the meatloaf for 10-15 minutes before serving and it will be much easier to slice.
