Sunday Supper Glazed Meatloaf

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 3 tbsp Salted Perfection Santa Maria Select Blend
• 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until it is translucent and soft, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk, letting them sit for a few minutes to form a panade.
4. Add the ground beef, the cooled onion and garlic mixture, the beaten egg, fresh parsley, and the Salted Perfection Santa Maria Select Blend to the bowl.
5. Gently mix the ingredients with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat which can make it tough.
6. Press the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Spread this glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
8. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
9. Let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute for a moist result. DUNZO!
