Classic Meatloaf

Ingredients:

2 lbs ground beef
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/4 cup ketchup, for topping

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, milk, 1/4 cup ketchup, chopped onion, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and parsley. Mix until well combined.

Transfer the meatloaf mixture to a loaf pan, and use your hands to shape it into a loaf.

Spread about 1/4 cup of ketchup over the top of the meatloaf.

Bake for 75 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
