07 -
2 tbsp ketchup

3 garlic cloves, minced

→ Glaze
13 -
1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder
15 -
2 tbsp brown sugar
16 -
1.5 tsp white wine vinegar
17 -
180 g ketchup
# Steps to Make It:
01 -
Spread the glaze over the meatloaf and bake it for another 20 minutes, or until the middle hits 71°C. Don’t slice into it right away; let it chill for 10 to 15 minutes first.
02 -
In a smaller bowl, mix the ketchup with the brown sugar, the vinegar, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir until it’s smooth.
03 -
Put the meat mixture on your lined tray. Shape it into a loaf, about 20 cm long and 10 cm wide and about 7 or 8 cm high. Toss it in the oven uncovered and bake for 40 minutes.
04 -
Grab a big mixing bowl and gently blend together the beef, cooled onions, eggs, garlic, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, parsley, breadcrumbs, milk, salt, Italian herbs, and pepper with your hands. Don’t overmix it.
05 -
Heat a medium pan over medium. Pour in 1 teaspoon olive oil and throw in those chopped onions. Stir them every now and then for 5 to 7 minutes, until they’re soft and golden. Set aside so they cool down.
06 -
Turn your oven on to 175°C top and bottom heat. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment so cleanup’s easier.
# Extra Information:
01 -
Don’t let it bake too long or it’ll turn out dry. Let it rest before serving for the best juicy bite.
