A flavorful twist on the classic meatloaf, perfect for a comforting family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated to maintain consistent cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, milk, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, sage, salt, ground mustard, pepper, minced garlic, egg, and onion. Mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan and shape it into an even loaf.
Press gently to avoid compacting the mixture too much.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and barbecue sauce. Spread this glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Use a spatula to spread the glaze evenly for a uniform coating.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Check the temperature in the center of the loaf for accuracy.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meatloaf moist.
