Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl combine 2 pounds lean ground beef, 1 small chopped onion, 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, ¾ cup Italian bread crumbs, ½ cup milk, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
• Use your hands to mix the ingredients gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
• Press the meat mixture evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
• In a small bowl whisk together ¼ cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
• Brush half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf and reserve the remaining half.
• Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.
• Remove the meatloaf, brush the remaining glaze on top, then return it to the oven and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
