Meatloaf

  • 2 lbs. ground beef
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 cup yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 2 extra large eggs, beaten

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Heat the olive oil in a medium sauté pan. Add the onions, salt, and pepper and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking for 8 to 10 minutes until the onions are translucent but not brown.

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion mixture, bread crumbs, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, ketchup, and parsley. Mix all of the ingredients lightly with a fork. Don’t mash the mixture or the meatloaf will be dense. Shape the mixture into a rectangular loaf on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper. Bake for 1 hour until the internal temperature is 160 degrees and the meatloaf is cooked through.
