Shape the meat mixture into a meatloaf and place it on the prepared baking dish. Spread the glazing over the meatloaf evenly.
Cook the meatloaf in the oven for at least 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool..
Slice the meatloaf and garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy!
Notes
The breadcrumbs act like a binding agent along with the eggs. Breadcrumbs are soaked in milk and keep the loaf moist. Always soak your breadcrumbs in milk before mixing them with the meat to get the best results.
If you'd like to use a different sauce, feel free. Use barbecue sauce instead of ketchup, or use tomato sauce for a healthier version.
Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the loaf. If it's cooked too long it will become dry. The perfect internal temperature should reach 160°F.
