A delightful twist on the classic meatloaf recipe, enhanced with fresh herbs and a tangy glaze.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, egg, milk, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan and shape it evenly.
Press gently to avoid compacting the meatloaf too much.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Spread this glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
The glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatloaf is fully cooked.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meatloaf moist.
