Navid: There are many meatloaf recipes available out there. Some recipes call for milk and oatmeal which make it more like a breakfast dish. I personally look at meatloaf as a homemade steak and therefore don't want any milk in it. To provide moisture for the meatloaf, instead of milk I am using Worcestershire sauce (or steak sauce). For the meatloaf glaze, some people use mustard but I prefer the taste of balsamic vinegar which make this a superb dish.
Main Ingredients:
Ground Beef: 1 pound or 0.5 Kg
Onion: 1 medium, chopped
Garlic: 1 clove, small chopped
Egg: 1, beaten
Salt: 1 tsp
Pepper: 1/4 tsp
Olive Oil: 2 tbsp
Bread Crumb: 1/2 cup
Worcestershire Sauce: 2-4 tbsp (or replace it with your favourite steak sauce)
Fresh Parsley: 2 tbsp, chopped
Glaze Ingredients:
Ketchup: 1/3 cup
Brown Sugar: 1 tbsp
Balsamic Vinegar: 2 tbsp (replace it with Cider Vinegar if you don't have balsamic)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan and saute onion and garlic until just soft. Remove from the heat and cool.
3. Mix them with all other main ingredients. Shape into a loaf and transfer into a baking dish.
4. Mix all glaze ingredients and keep aside.
5. Bake meatloaf for 50 min.
6. Pour the glaze mix over it and bake for 10 more min.
Made this for the first time. Super easy and it turned out really well.

What a delicious meatloaf!!!! I would suggest to bake it on 350 for first half hour and than 375 for the next half hour.

Simply loved the meatloaf. It really did taste like meat. We all enjoyed it very much. My son who dislikes meatloaf finished all the leftovers. The glaze was excellent, adding a very nice flavour. Thanks so much!
