Meatloaf
The best meatloaf recipe! This easy, classic meatloaf is super tender and moist inside, glazed with a sweet and tangy ketchup sauce. I used ground beef, but feel free to replace some of the beef with pork, chicken, or turkey.
Ingredients
Meatloaf
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 pounds lean ground beef (you can replace ½ of the beef with pork if you like)
- ½ cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or dried parsley; plus more for garnishing)
Glaze
- ¾ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove from the heat.
- To a large bowl, add the onion mixture and the rest of the meatloaf ingredients. Mix well to combine.
- Add the meat to a loaf pan and gently press it down until smooth on top.
- Bake the meatloaf for 40 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients. Spoon the glaze on top of the meatloaf and return to the oven for another 20-30 minutes. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle extra parsley on top if desired. Enjoy!
