Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb (680g) ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 6 tbsp (60g) yellow onion, finely minced
  • 3 cloves (15g) garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp (6g) salt
  • 1¼ tsp (3g) black pepper
  • 1 tsp (2g) dried parsley
  • ⅓ cup (80g) ketchup
  • 1 tbsp (12g) brown sugar
  • 1 tsp (5ml) apple cider vinegar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, beaten eggs, minced onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley. Mix with your hands or a fork just until combined. Do not over-mix.
  3. Form the mixture into an oval loaf and place it in the prepared pan.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar.
  5. Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf. Reserve the remaining glaze for brushing.
  6. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the center reaches 71°C (160°F) on a meat thermometer. Ground meat is safe at 71°C (160°F).
  7. During the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the remaining glaze over the top of the loaf.
  8. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
