Introduction
A budget-friendly, easy-to-make, and incredibly moist meatloaf recipe featuring a sweet and tangy ketchup-based glaze. Perfectly seasoned with a touch of creole kick, this classic comfort food pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Prepare your meatloaf pan by spraying the inside with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onions, salt, black pepper, ground paprika, parsley, minced garlic, ketchup, and creole kick seasoning. Gently crumble and mix with your hands, then add the eggs and fold them in until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.
Step 4
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Gently press it down to fill the pan, and use your finger to create a small indentation (bevel) around the top edges to catch rendering fat.
Step 5
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches approximately 145°F.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using an 80/20 ground beef mix keeps the meatloaf juicy and flavorful. A pan with a draining insert or creating a beveled edge helps manage excess grease.
Do not overwork the meat when mixing, as over-mixing can make the meatloaf dense and tough.
Always rest the meatloaf for at least 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, preventing it from falling apart.
Ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe 165°F by checking the center with a meat thermometer.
