Ingredients

  • 1 cup Sweet Onions, Chopped Small
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1-⅓ pound Ground Beef (85% Or Leaner)
  • ¾ cups Milk
  • 2  Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • ½ cups Plain Bread Crumbs
  • 1-½ teaspoon Seasoning Rub Of Choice (I Used A Fine-grind Rotisserie Rub), Or More To Taste
  • ⅓ cups Ketchup
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley, Chopped Small
  • 2 teaspoons Heaping Brown Sugar
  • Salt, To Taste (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Cook onion in butter over medium heat until evenly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Crumble ground beef into a large bowl for easier mixing.

In a measuring cup, measure milk, then add eggs and Worcestershire Sauce and scramble thoroughly. Add to the ground meat and press and stir until completely integrated.

Add bread crumbs and caramelized onions and stir until evenly distributed. Then add seasoning rub and stir.

Remove a small ball of meat and gently microwave to taste for seasoning. Adjust accordingly by adding more rub and/or salt as needed.

Press the raw meatloaf into a loaf pan.

Mix ketchup, parsley and brown sugar and spread over the meatloaf. Place in the oven and bake for 50 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 160°F. Remove and allow to rest for 5–10 minutes.

Slice and serve with your sides of choice.
