Calories 409 kcal
- ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup milk
- ⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 small onion- finely minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1½ pounds ground beef
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup ketchup
- 4 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Combine in a large bowl: breadcrumbs, milk, parsley, egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion, chili powder, and garlic.
If you don’t want to use beef, try a chicken and turkey combo or mix and match with pork.
Add the meat, season with salt and pepper, and mix with your hands until fully combined.
Shape into six 3-to-4-inch oval loaves.
Next time I think I will dice the onions a little thinner and maybe cook them for a couple of minutes before adding them to the mixture. Although they did cook enough I don’t like to really ‘feel’ onions in my mouth (yes that sounds dumb). But it is up to you and what you prefer!
Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat.
Add the loaves and brown about 3 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, whisk the ketchup, sugar and vinegar in a bowl and brush a few tablespoonfuls over the meat.
I cheated with the cornbread and used a box mix, super easy!
The sauce is soooo good, make a little extra for those too much meat bits.
Transfer the loaves to a plate.
Add the remaining ketchup mixture to the skillet and cook over high heat, stirring, until thick, 3 to 5 minutes.
Serve the meatloaves with the hot glaze.
