Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups yellow onion diced
- 3 lbs ground beef (I used 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

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, saute onions in olive oil until tender and browned, about 10 minutes. Pour into a large bowl.
- To the onions, add in 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 over mix.
- Form into a long log on the prepared baking sheet and flatten the top.
- In a small bowl, whisk brown sugar with remaining 1 1/2 cups ketchup to form glaze.
- Spread glaze overtop prepared meatloaf and bake covered with foil* 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
- *If you want to caramelize the glaze, remove foil in the last 10-15 minutes of cooking.
- Leftovers. Cover leftovers with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freezing. After baking, let your meatloaf cool to room temperature. Cover in foil, then seal it in a plastic freezer bag.
- Reheat. Let thaw for 24 hours in your fridge before baking. Then bake at 350° F until the internal temperature reaches 160° F.
