A traditional classic Easy Meatloaf Recipe! This meatloaf is tender, juicy and really flavorful! It's satisfying and extremely easy to make! Meatloaf freezes well. The great thing is that you can freeze it before or after cooking. To freeze it before cooking, place the meatloaf in a loaf pan and wrap it tightly with plastic wrap, then in foil and freeze.

Ingredients

1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 large eggs
2 pounds ground beef
1 tbsp. tomato paste
1/4 cup parsley, fresh, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 stalk celery, finely diced
1 small carrot, shredded or finely chopped
1/2 cup milk
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 medium onion, grated, or finely chopped

Method

01

Heat oven: Heat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet or a baking dish with aluminum foil.
02

Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl and mix well using your clean hands. Do not over mix the ingredients to avoid creating a dense loaf.
03

Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the prepared baking sheet or baking dish. Shape it into a loaf roughly 9 inches by 5 inches. If using a loaf pan, just pat the meatloaf mixture into the pan.
04

Spread 1/4 cup of the ketchup mixture over the meatloaf and reserve the other 1/4 cup for later.
05

Bake the meatloaf for 45 minutes, then spread with the remaining 1/4 cup of ketchup.
06

Bake the loaf for another 10 to 15 minutes (about 1 hour total), until the middle of the loaf registers at least 155°F on an instant-read thermometer.
07

Let the loaf cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. If you baked your meatloaf in a loaf pan, carefully drain off the liquid fat before transferring the meatloaf to a cutting board. Cut into thick slices and serve.
