Ingredients
2 pounds ground beef (80–90% lean)
2 large eggs
1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup unsweetened ketchup or low-sugar ketchup, divided
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to make cleanup easier.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, grated Parmesan, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
Use clean hands or a sturdy spoon to gently mix until everything is just combined. Try not to overmix, or the meatloaf can become dense.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and press it in evenly, smoothing the top with your hands or the back of a spoon.
Spread the remaining 1/4 cup ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf to create a simple low-sugar glaze.
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the top is nicely set and slightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes. This helps it firm up so it slices cleanly and stays juicy.
Slice and serve warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or portion and freeze for easy future meals.
