INGREDIENTS:

Meat Loaf Recipe:

  • 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

Meatloaf Sauce Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 ½ tsp white vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

DIRECTIONS:

  • Prep – Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup, and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • Make the Sauce – In a small bowl, add the sauce ingredients and stir to combine.
  • 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

NOTES:

  • If you are baking this in a loaf pan, increase the heat to 375f. You may also need to adjust baking time.
  • Don’t overmix the meatloaf or it’ll be more crumbly
