Ingredients:

• 1/3 c milk
• 2 tsp dried parsley
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 large onion, finely diced

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to350 degrees.
2. Combine the breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, dried thyme and dried parsley in a bowl.
3. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and ‘sweat’ the onions and garlic. To ‘sweat’ means to cook over low heat until they are translucent, not browned. Once done, transfer them to a plate and place in the fridge to cool a little.
4. Combine the ketchup, brown sugar and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a small bowl.
5. Combine the ground beef, breadcrumb mixture and cooked onions and garlic in a large bowl. Combine with your hands, just until mixed (do not over-mix or your meatloaf will turn out tough).
6. Place the meat in a greased loaf pan. Pour 3/4 of the ketchup mixture on top. Place in oven for approximately 60 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees using a meat thermometer.
7. Place the remaining ketchup mixture on top and serve with mashed or sweet potatoes and green beans.
