- 2 eggs
- 2 Tablespoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon black ground pepper
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 3 Tablespoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ medium red onion, finely diced

Instructions
Meatloaf Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and the milk. Let them sit while you measure out the remaining ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt, garlic powder, oregano, red onion, and fresh parsley. Don’t mix yet.
- Add the breadcrumb mixture to the other ingredients and mix until everything is just incorporated. Do not over-mix.
- Transfer the ground beef mixture to the prepared loaf pan. Push it lightly into the pan so that it gets into the corners. Smooth the top with your hands or a spatula. Bake for 35 minutes.
Glaze Instructions
- While the meatloaf is cooking, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Once the meatloaf has cooked for 35 minutes, brush the sauce over the top.
- Bake for an additional 20 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 160℉.
Notes
Store leftover meatloaf in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or air fryer.
If you are not a huge fan of using Worcestershire sauce, try these options such as soy sauce, olive oil, chili sauce, or chicken stock.
