Description
A classic comfort food, this Moist Meatloaf is packed with flavor and topped with a sweet glaze.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups yellow onion (diced)
- 3 lbs ground beef (80/20)
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 3 large eggs (beaten)
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon salt (+ more to taste)
- 1 tablespoon black pepper (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups ketchup (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line half sheet pan with heavy-duty foil, spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté onions in olive oil until tender and browned, about 10 minutes. Pour into a large bowl.
- To the onions, add ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, 1 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and parsley. Mix well just until completely combined. Do not overmix.
- Form the mixture into a long log on the prepared baking sheet and flatten the top.
- In a small bowl, whisk brown sugar with the remaining 1 1/2 cups ketchup to form a glaze.
- Spread the glaze over the top of the prepared meatloaf and bake, covered with foil, for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until cooked thoroughly and registers at least 160°F.
- Rest meatloaf, covered lightly with foil, for 10-15 minutes before cutting. Top with more chopped parsley, if desired, and serve.
Notes
Letting the meatloaf rest after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, making it even more tender.
