Description
A comforting and flavorful twist on classic meatloaf, enhanced with rich Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian seasoned)
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: marinara sauce for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, egg, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Use your hands to mix until just combined; overmixing can result in a dense loaf.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a baking dish or on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
- Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing to enhance juiciness.
Notes
For added flavor, consider serving with marinara sauce or pairing with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
