Equipment

  • Loaf pan

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef
  • ¾ panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ yellow onion grated
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Meatloaf Glaze

  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Crumble ground beef into a large bowl and add panko bread crumbs, grated onion, beaten eggs, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, parsley, thyme, Parmesan cheese, milk, salt and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • Prepare the meatloaf glaze by mixing the ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar in a small bowl.

  • Let the meatloaf rest for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

If you do not have a loaf pan, you can free-form the meatloaf on a baking sheet.
The bake time will vary depending on the thickness of the loaf.
