Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the ground beef, onion, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, milk, garlic, eggs, salt, and pepper into a mixing bowl. Using your hands, combine all of the ingredients. DO NOT mix too much it will make the meatloaf tough.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, dijon, and Worcestershire sauce for the glaze.
  • Form the meat mixture into a loaf pan or on a baking sheet. Spread about 1/3 of the glaze over the top of the meatloaf.
  • Bake for 45 minutes.
  • Remove the meatloaf from the oven. Spread another 1/3 of the glaze, and cook for an additional 15 minutes. The internal temperature should read 155ºF.
