Description
A juicy, halal-friendly meatloaf made with lean beef, fresh herbs, and a tangy ketchup-mustard glaze. Perfect for effortless family dinners with a crispy golden exterior.
Ingredients
2 pounds ground beef (90% lean)
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 large egg, beaten
2 medium yellow onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tbsp yellow mustard
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with hands until just combined.
Add finely chopped onions, garlic, and parsley to the bowl. Fold ingredients together slowly to avoid overworking the meat.
Transfer mixture to a rectangular loaf pan (9 x 5 inches) or line a baking sheet with parchment paper for free-form shaping.
Pour ketchup and mustard evenly over the meat mixture before baking.
Bake for 25 minutes, then reduce heat to 325°F (160°C) and continue baking for 30–35 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C)
Let the loaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Use turkey or lamb instead of beef for dietary alternatives
Substitute oats for breadcrumbs to make it gluten-free
Replace the egg with 3 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tbsp water for vegan option
Monitor internal temperature to avoid overcooking
Loaf can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for 3 months
