This traditional meat loaf recipe is oozing with flavour and is moist and tender–just like mom used to make. The tangy tomato glaze is what makes it a classic!

Directions

1. Combine bread crumbs, milk, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, garlic powder and pepper in a large bowl. Gently mix in ground beef with a fork (careful not to over-mix).

2. Gently pack meat mixture into a parchment paper-lined, 8 x 4-inch (20 x 10 cm) loaf pan, pat down lightly and smooth the top.

3. Tomato Glaze: Whisk together ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar in a small bowl. Pour glaze over top of the meat loaf and spread evenly.

4. Bake in preheated 350ºF oven for 50 to 55 minutes or until a digital instant-read thermometer inserted into centre of meat loaf reads 160ºF (71ºF).
