Scale
Meatloaf
- 2 pounds 80%-90% ground beef, or ground turkey or 1 pound ground pork and 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup beef broth, or milk
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- 2–3 Tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tablespoons ketchup
- 1 ¼ teaspoons Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Glaze
- ⅔ cup ketchup or BBQ sauce, you could mix half and half
- 2–3 Tablespoons light brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet or 9×5-inch loaf pan with foil. Lightly spray with non-stick spray and set aside.
- Mix meatloaf ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the beef, breadcrumbs, broth, eggs, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until just combined. Don’t overmix or the meat won’t be as tender.
- Form the loaf: Press the mixture into the loaf pan or form it into a loaf shape on the pan.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and/or BBQ sauce with brown sugar. Pour over the top of the meatloaf. Add pepper on top, if desired.
- Bake: Bake for 45 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reaches 160°F. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before cutting into slices.
