Equipment
- Bread loaf pan
- Large Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- ¾ cup plain breadcrumbs
- 6 tablespoons milk
- 1 large egg beaten
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 ½ teaspoons Italian Seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅔ cup marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Crumble the ground beef into a large bowl then add breadcrumbs, milk, beaten egg, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Ladle two spoonfuls of marinara sauce over the bottom of a bread loaf pan, then place the meatloaf mixture in the pan and press into a loaf shape.
- Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, then spread the remaining marinara sauce over the top of the meatloaf and continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
- Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let rest for five minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes
Tip: Wet your clean hands with water prior to mixing the meatloaf to prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands.
Lining the pan with aluminum foil makes removal and cleanup easier.
If you do not have a loaf pan, you can free-form the meatloaf into a loaf shape on a rimmed baking sheet.
