Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 16 ounces lean ground beef
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup milk
- 5 tablespoons ketchup divided
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup cubed sharp cheddar cheese
- Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook until soft, about 4-5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
- Add the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, milk, 2 1/2 tablespoons of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, salt, pepper, and cheddar cheese cubes to the bowl. Gently mix until just combined, making sure not to overmix.
- Shape the meat mixture into a loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the remaining ketchup on top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. For a glazed finish, spread additional ketchup on top of the loaf toward the end of baking. Once baked, allow the meatloaf to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.
