🍖 Old-fashioned meatloaf

6 servings · prep 20 min · cook 55 min

Ingredients

• 900 g ground beef
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion chopped, 3 garlic cloves crushed
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 large eggs, 80 ml milk
• 60 g breadcrumbs
• 2 to 3 tbsp chopped parsley
• 2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 175 g ketchup for the glaze
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce for the glaze
• Salt, pepper

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and line a tray with parchment: the loaf is shaped by hand straight on it.
2. Soften the onion 5 to 6 min in the oil, add the garlic for 1 to 2 min, then let it cool a little.
3. Mix the beef, the onion and garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire, eggs, milk, breadcrumbs, parsley, herbs, salt and pepper. Work it JUST enough to bind: overmixing gives a dense loaf.
4. Shape a loaf on the tray and smooth the top and sides for even cooking.
5. Bake 40 min uncovered, until the top starts to colour.
6. Meanwhile whisk the ketchup, brown sugar and Worcestershire for the glaze.
7. Take it out, spread the glaze and return it 12 to 15 min: it should turn glossy and lightly caramelised.
8. REST it 10 min before slicing, or the slices fall apart.
