# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened and golden, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate and allow to cool.
03 -
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, sautéed onion, eggs, minced garlic, ketchup, parsley, breadcrumbs, milk, salt, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Mix gently until just incorporated.
04 -
Form the mixture into a loaf approximately 20x10x7.5 cm on the prepared baking sheet. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes.
05 -
In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, white vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
06 -
Spread the glaze evenly over the meatloaf. Return to oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 71°C.
07 -
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Use 90% lean ground beef for a leaner texture. Substituting Panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives ensures the dish remains gluten-free. Allowing the loaf to rest before slicing preserves moisture and improves slicing quality.
