Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably seasoned)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, milk, eggs, parsley, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Use your hands to mix until just combined—be careful not to overwork the meat.
- Transfer the meat mixture to a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Spread a layer of ketchup over the top for extra flavor and moisture.
- Bake in your preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
- Once cooked, let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing, which will help retain the juices for a moist final product.
