Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
- ½ cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

- ½ cup ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (for glaze)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Sauté onions and garlic in olive oil until soft, then let cool.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, ketchup, salt, black pepper, paprika, and parsley.
- Form the mixture into a tight, even loaf in the pan.
- In a bowl, mix ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar for the glaze.
- Spread a thin layer of glaze over the meatloaf before baking.
- Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, then brush with more glaze and bake for 15 more minutes (total baking time: 60 minutes).
- Check the internal temperature—it should reach 160°F (71°C).
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use 80/20 ground beef for best juiciness.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing to retain moisture.
