Sauce Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup ketchup or BBQ sauce , you could mix half and half
- 2-3 Tablespoons light brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet or 9x5" loaf pan with foil. Lightly spray with non-stick spray and set aside.
- Combine the meat, breadcrumbs, broth or milk, eggs, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder in a large bowl. Mix just until combined. Don't overmix or the meat won't be as tender.
- Press into the loaf pan or form the mixture into a loaf shape on the pan.

- Bake meatloaf for 45 minutes, or until the meat reaches 160°F.
Notes
You may substitute fresh onion and garlic (1 cup onion, 4 garlic cloves minced), however make sure to saute them with a little olive oil before adding to the meat. If you prefer a little heat, add in a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat or a few dashes of chili sauce or sriracha to the meatloaf sauce.
