Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs ground beef, 85% or 80% lean

1 medium 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

1/3 cup milk

1 tsp salt

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Meatloaf Sauce:

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. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Set a medium skillet over medium heat. Add oil and chopped onion. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden (5–7 minutes). Let cool.

3. In a large bowl, combine all meatloaf ingredients and mix just until well combined (use hands for best results).

4. Shape the meat into a loaf roughly 8x4x3 inches and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes.

5. While it bakes, stir together glaze ingredients in a bowl.

6. Spread glaze evenly over the meatloaf. Return to oven for 20 more minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F.

7. Let the meatloaf rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For variation, substitute half the beef with ground turkey, pork, or sausage.

To bake in a loaf pan, increase oven temperature to 375°F and line pan with parchment.

Do not overmix the meat mixture—this helps keep the texture light and juicy.
