Your whole family will love this easy meatloaf recipe with ketchup and brown sugar glaze. It's great the night you make it and leftovers are delicious for sandwiches. This recipe makes a 2 lb meatloaf.
Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
MAKE THE BROWN SUGAR GLAZE FOR THE MEATLOAF:
In a small bowl combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar,, 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon dijon mustard, ¼ cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish. Whisk to combine. Divide the glaze in half, one is for glazing the meat, and the other for serving.
FOR THE GLAZED MEATLOAF:
In a small bowl, combine 2 slices bread, torn into small pieces and ½ cup milk and milk. Let them soak for 5 minutes or until the bread is very soft and mushy.
Add 2 pounds ground round to a large bowl and add the bread and milk mixture. Work it through with your hands so the bread practically dissolves into the meat.
Add 1 egg, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ¾ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce mix to combine.
Add 1 small onion and ¼ cup parsley. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the meat to the baking sheet and mold it into a loaf shape.
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove it from the oven and spread the brown sugar glaze over the ground beef.
Return it to the oven and continue baking for 20-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160° F. Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra glaze.
