Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup ketchup (for glaze)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (for glaze)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (for glaze)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment or lightly oil it.
  2. Heat a small skillet over medium heat with oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic for 30 seconds, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, ketchup, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until combined.
  4. Add breadcrumbs, cooled onion and garlic, chopped parsley, and ground beef. Mix gently until just combined; do not overwork.
  5. Transfer to the prepared pan and shape into a loaf.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, whisk together glaze ingredients: ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar.
  8. Remove the meatloaf, spread the glaze over the top, and return it to the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes until the glaze is set.
  9. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For a lighter texture, swap half the beef for ground turkey. Use gluten-free breadcrumbs if necessary.
