Classic Glazed Meatloaf

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment.
  2. In a large bowl, stir the breadcrumbs and milk together and let them soak until soft.
  3. Add the eggs, onion, garlic, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, thyme and parsley to the crumbs and stir well.
  4. Add the meat and mix gently with clean hands just until everything is evenly combined. Overmixing makes a dense loaf. Wash your hands well afterward.
  5. Shape the mixture into a loaf about 9 inches long and 4 inches wide in the middle of the sheet pan.
  6. Whisk the glaze ingredients and brush or spoon half of it over the loaf.
  7. Bake for 40 minutes.

  1. Spoon the rest of the glaze over the top and bake until the center reads 160°F (71°C) on a thermometer.
  2. Let it rest 10 minutes before slicing so the juices settle and the slices hold together.
  3. Cook to 160°F inside (check with a thermometer).
