Soulful Meatloaf

Ingredients:

2 pounds ground beef

1 cup breadcrumbs

1 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup milk

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

For the Glaze:

1/2 cup ketchup

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon mustard powder

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and parsley until well combined.

Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a baking sheet.

In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and mustard powder for the glaze. Spread half of the glaze evenly over the meatloaf.

Bake for 1 hour or until the meatloaf is cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F or 71°C). Halfway through the baking time, spread the remaining glaze over the meatloaf.

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
