Ingredients
- Ground beef – 500g
- Breadcrumbs – 1 cup
- Milk – ½ cup
- Eggs – 2
- Onion – 1 medium finely chopped
- Garlic – 3 cloves minced
- Worcestershire sauce – 2 tablespoons
- Ketchup – 3 tablespoons
- Fresh parsley – 2 tablespoons chopped
- Salt – 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper – ½ teaspoon
- Olive oil – 1 tablespoon
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a baking tray or loaf pan. This helps prevent sticking and ensures even cooking.
Prepare the Breadcrumb Mixture
- In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs with milk. Let it soak for a few minutes. This keeps the meatloaf soft and moist.
Cook Onion and Garlic
- Heat olive oil in a pan. Add chopped onion and garlic. Cook until soft and slightly golden. Let it cool before mixing.
Mix the Meatloaf Base
- In a large bowl, add ground beef, soaked breadcrumbs, cooked onion, and garlic. Mix gently using your hands or a spoon.
Add Flavor Ingredients
- Add eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix everything until combined. Do not overmix to keep it tender.
Shape the Meatloaf
- Transfer the mixture to your baking tray. Shape it into a loaf using your hands. Make sure it is even in thickness.
Bake the Meatloaf
- Place the tray in the oven. Bake for about 50–60 minutes. The top should look browned and slightly firm.
Rest Before Slicing
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This helps the juices settle and makes slicing easier.
Slice and Serve
- Cut into thick slices and serve warm. Enjoy the juicy texture and rich flavor.
Notes
- Use a mix of beef and chicken for lighter texture
- Add grated carrot for extra moisture
- Top with extra ketchup before baking
- Use fresh herbs for better flavor
- Avoid overmixing to keep it soft
- Check doneness using a thermometer
