Ingredients
For the Meat Mixture:
- 2 lbs 85% ground beef
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup regular breadcrumbs or fresh grated bread
- 1 onion chopped fine
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup dried parsley
For the Sauce:
- ½ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Grease a 9x5 loaf pan with spray oil or by rubbing oil onto the sides and bottom.
- Add all of the ingredients for the meatloaf mixture into a large bowl.
- Place the eggs and milk in a separate small bowl and whisk together
- Then add the egg mixture to the meat.
- Blend the meatloaf ingredients all together. Using you hands is best for this step to prevent over mixing. (you can use a spoon but hands end to work best so not to over mix)
- Place the meatloaf in to prepared loaf pan and spread out evenly.
- Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
- Pour ½ of the sauce over the top of the meatloaf
- Place in the oven and bake at for 30 minutes.
- At the end of the 30 minutes, pour the rest of the sauce over the top of the meatloaf and spread evenly
- Return to the oven for and additional 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches
- 160 degrees.
- After you remove the meatloaf from the oven, let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Notes
- If you don't have a loaf pan, use a glass baking dish or sheet pan and form the meat mixture into a loaf size.
- Substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs or old fashioned oats in place regular breadcrumbs if needed.
- Use fresh grated bread of choice instead of store bought breadcrumbs.
- Place a baking sheet under the loaf pan to prevent any spill overs in the oven.
- Using at least 80-85% ground beef will keep meatloaf from being dry.
- Substitute the ground beef for a mixture of beef, pork and veal mixture that is found in some grocery meat departments.
- Want more veggies? Add ½ cup of chopped carrots and ½ cup of sliced celery in with the onions and saute them all until soft.
