This Meatloaf Recipe is hearty, flavorful, and super simple to make. It's one of those classic comfort food meals that always hits the spot. Juicy, savory, and topped with a tangy BBQ glaze that caramelizes perfectly in the oven.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs regular or gluten free
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 medium yellow onion grated
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce divided
- Chopped parsley as garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed cookie sheet with aluminum foil and grease with cooking spray. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and water. Let sit for 2 minutes.
-
Mix in the grated onion, eggs, worcestershire sauce, italian seasoning, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and 1⁄4 cup of BBQ sauce.
-
Add the ground beef and use your hands to mix everything together until well combined.
-
Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the prepared baking sheet and form into a 5-inch by 10-inch loaf size.
-
Spread the remaining 1⁄4 cup of BBQ sauce over the top of the meatloaf.
-
Bake in the middle level of the oven for 65-75 minutes, until the center of the meatloaf registers 165°F on an instant read thermometer.
-
Let the meatloaf cool for 15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley before serving.
Recipe Notes
- Grated onion helps the onion “melt” into the meat mixture without needing to be sauteed
beforehand! - Great for meal prep!
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version.
