Gather Ingredients: Collect 1 1/2 lbs ground beef, 1 cup bread crumbs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 egg, 1 small onion (finely chopped), 2 garlic cloves (minced), 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, dried thyme, and chopped parsley. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Shape Loaf: Transfer the meat mixture to a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a baking sheet.
Top with Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon mustard. Spread this glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Rest: Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up and makes it easier to slice.
Serve: Slice and serve your delicious meatloaf with your favorite sides. Enjoy!
