Classic Meatloaf
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and position a rack in the center.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, 3 tablespoons ketchup, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, sea salt, basil, oregano, black pepper, paprika, parsley, breadcrumbs, and milk. Mix gently until just combined; do not overwork.

  3. Shape the mixture into a compact loaf on a lightly oiled baking dish and press so the top is smooth.

  4. In a small bowl, stir together the ¾ cup ketchup, cider vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Taste and modify if necessary.

  5. Spread half of the glaze over the top of the loaf and save the rest for later.

  6. Bake for about 60 minutes or until browned around the edges and glossy on top, with an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

  7. Brush the remaining glaze over the loaf for the last 5–10 minutes of baking for a shiny finish.

  8. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
