A delightful twist on the classic meatloaf and meatballs recipe, perfect for family dinners or meal prep.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Finely chop the onion and combine it in a mixing bowl with salt, pepper, egg, milk, and breadcrumbs.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the mixture, which can make it dense.
Add the ground beef to the bowl and mix until just combined.
Use your hands for even mixing, but don't overmix.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a baking dish. Spread ketchup evenly over the top.
The ketchup adds a tangy glaze that caramelizes during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Use a meat thermometer to ensure it's cooked through.
For meatballs, shape the mixture into balls and brown them in a frying pan with oil over medium heat.
Browning adds a delicious crust and locks in juices.
Serve the meatloaf sliced or the meatballs with your favorite sauce and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
