Ingredients

Meatloaf Mixture

  • 1 ½ lbs ground beef 80/20 beef recommended
  • ¾ cup oatmeal
  • ½ cup grated onion
  • ¾ cup beef broth
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Meatloaf Glaze

  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Crumble the ground beef into a large bowl and add all remaining meatloaf mixture ingredients. Mix well to fully combine.
  • Prepare the glaze by mixing together the ketchup, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard.
  • Line your loaf pan with foil and add a couple of spoonfuls of glaze to the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking. Then add all of the meatloaf mixture to the pan and press firmly to form into a loaf. Paint the top of the meatloaf with all of the remaining glaze.
  • Place the meatloaf in the oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. The total cooking time will vary depending on how thick your meatloaf is.
  • Once finished, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes prior to slicing and serving.

Notes

Quick oats or rolled oats both work, I like using quick oats best. You can also chop or grind them for a finer texture.
If you don't have a loaf pan, a rimmed baking sheet can also be used. You will just have to form the meatloaf independently.
