Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion finely chopped about ½ cup.
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs.
  • 3 garlic cloves crushed
  • 2 eggs.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasonings.
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley.
  • 2 cubes beef bouillon crumbled.
  • 2 pounds ground beef.

For the glaze:

  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice.
  • 2 teaspoon yellow mustard.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a bowl, combine the glaze ingredients until smooth, set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine panko bread, diced onion and mix well to moisten all the panko.
  • Add the rest of the meatloaf ingredients and about ⅓ of the glaze mix.
  • Mix everything well together and form into a loaf.
  • Add two slices of bread to the bottom of a 9x5 loaf pan.
  • Place the meatloaf on top of the bread and bake for 1 hour or until internal temperature reached a minimum of 160F when measured by a meat thermometer.
  • Drain any excess fat, pour the rest of the glaze on top of the loaf and bake for another 10 minutes.
  • Slice and serve with extra sauce.

Notes

  • You can use regular plain bread crumbs as well.
  • Make sure you finely chop the onion so they have enough juice to moisten the bread crumbs.
  • I highly recommend making this meatloaf sauce but if you feel lazy you can use barbecue sauce.
  • If you like meatloaf with crispy edges, form meat mixture into loaf shape and bake in a rimmed baking sheet instead.
  • This meatloaf recipe goes well with green beans on the side.
  • Storage: leftover meatloaf can be refrigerated for up to 4-5 days
