Classic Meatloaf

This meatloaf recipe is moist, tender, and packed with flavor. It’s perfect for a weeknight dinner or even special occasions. Let’s get started!

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Additional ketchup for topping

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, eggs, onion, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf tough.
Transfer the meat mixture into a greased loaf pan, shaping it into a loaf. If you prefer, you can also place it on a lined baking sheet for a more rustic look.
Spread a generous amount of ketchup over the top of the meatloaf for an extra layer of flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). If you like a nicely caramelized top, you can broil it for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end.
Once done, allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps keep the juices inside and makes for a juicier slice!
Serve with your choice of sides like mashed potatoes or green beans for a complete meal that’s sure to please everyone!

This classic meatloaf recipe is truly a winner and perfect for gatherings or cozy family meals. Enjoy cooking and savor every flavorful bite!
