– 1 ½ lbs ground beef – 1 cup breadcrumbs – 1/2 cup milk – 1 small onion, finely chopped – 2 cloves garlic, minced – 1 egg – 1/4 cup ketchup – 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce – 1 tsp salt – 1/2 tsp black pepper – 1/2 tsp dried thyme – 1/4 cup chopped parsley
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, and milk. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly blended without overworking the meat.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley. Mix everything until well combined.
Shape the mixture into a loaf on a lined baking sheet or in a loaf pan. Spread extra ketchup on top for a flavorful glaze.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the meatloaf for about 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps keep it moist and makes serving easier. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
