Categories     Main Dish

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup Panko Breadcrumbs ((may substitute Italian breadcrumbs))
1/2 cup Milk, any type
1 small White Onion, quartered
6 ounces Carrots, chopped into large pieces
2 cloves Garlic
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 1/2 pounds Ground Beef ((80% lean))
1 Egg, whisked
1 Tablespoon Fresh Parsley, curly or flat-leaf, chopped ((optional))
2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce ((may substitute soy sauce or Tamari))
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
1/2 cup Ketchup
2 Tablespoon Dark Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Mustard ((I like to use stone ground Dijon Mustard))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • If using a loaf pan, spray it with nonstick cooking spray. If using a sheet pan, line it with foil.
  • Combine breadcrumbs and milk in a large bowl and set aside to soak.
  • Combine onions, carrots, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped (the largest pieces should be about the size of a pea). (Note: If you prefer, you can also finely chop these by hand.)
  • Melt butter in a large saute pan over medium heat.
  • Add onions, carrots, and garlic with a pinch of salt.
  • Saute until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
  • To breadcrumbs and milk, add beef, egg, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
  • Top with cooked carrots and onions.
  • Using your hands, gently mix everything together until just combined. (Try not to over mix or this will make your meatloaf more tough.)
  • Gently shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape and transfer to loaf pan or sheet pan.
  • Transfer meatloaf to oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes (use an instant read thermometer if you have it - the center will register 155°F when the meatloaf is done).
  • While meatloaf cooks, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard.
  • Remove meatloaf when it has about 20 minutes left to cook and spread glaze over top.
  • Rest meatloaf for 10 minutes then slice and serve.
