Step-by-Step Instructions for Classic Meatloaf and Tangy Glaze

  2. Combine ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, milk, minced garlic, parsley, ketchup, salt, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and paprika in a large bowl. Mix until just combined.
  3. Transfer the mixture into the loaf pan, shaping it into an even loaf.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together glaze ingredients: ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  6. After 40 minutes, spread the glaze evenly over the meatloaf.
  7. Return the meatloaf to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes, checking for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  8. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
