Meatloaf Recipe

INGREDIENTS

• 2 lbs ground beef 85% or 80% lean
• 1 med onion (1 cup), finely chopped
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 2 large eggs
• 3 garlic cloves minced
• 2 Tbsp ketchup
• 3 Tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
• 3/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs or gluten-free bread crumbs
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 tsp salt or to taste
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 3/4 cup ketchup
• 1 ½ tsp white vinegar
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 1 Prep - Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup, and preheat oven to 350°F.
2. 2 Sautee Onions - Set a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tsp oil and chopped onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
3. 3 Make the Meatloaf Mixture - In a large bowl, add all of the meatloaf ingredients and mix just until well combined (your hands are your best tool for mixing - put on disposable gloves if you want to).
4. 4 Shape Meatloaf and Bake - Add meat to the pan and shape it into a meatloaf about 8 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 3 inches tall. Bake uncovered at 350˚F for 40 minutes.
5. 5 Make the Sauce - In a small bowl, add the sauce ingredients and stir to combine.
6. 6 Add the Glaze - Spread the sauce over the Meatloaf, then return to the oven and bake an additional 20 minutes or until the internal temperature is 160˚F on an instant-read thermometer. Rest the meatloaf for 10-15 minutes before serving and it will be much easier to slice.
