Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds (680 g) ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 cup (100 g) breadcrumbs (regular or panko), soaked in 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • For the tangy glaze:
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, soak 1 cup (100 g) of breadcrumbs in 1/2 cup (120 ml) of milk for 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, soaked breadcrumbs, sautéed onion and garlic, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a 9×5-inch loaf pan or shape on a rimmed baking sheet.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze.
  7. Brush half of the glaze generously over the top of the meatloaf.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
  9. Brush the remaining glaze over the meatloaf and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  11. Serve warm with your choice of sides.

Notes

Soak breadcrumbs in milk to keep the meatloaf moist and tender. Avoid overmixing the meat mixture to prevent a dense texture. Rest the meatloaf after baking to allow juices to redistribute. If browning too quickly, tent with foil. For extra richness, add a splash of beef broth to the glaze. Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, and use gluten-free or dairy-free alternatives as needed.
