For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture. To prevent the meatloaf from sticking, line the loaf pan with parchment paper before greasing. Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, egg, onion, milk, bread crumbs, parsley, and carrot. Season generously with salt and pepper. Avoid overmixing to prevent a tough meatloaf. (10 minutes)
03
StepTransfer the beef mixture to the prepared loaf pan, gently pressing it in to ensure an even shape. (2 minutes)
04
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, mustard, and ketchup until smooth. (3 minutes)
05
StepPour the glaze evenly over the meatloaf, ensuring it covers the entire surface. (1 minute)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven until the meatloaf is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). (60 minutes)
07
StepLet the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meatloaf. (10 minutes)
