2lbs Ground Beef 80/20 preferred
1 small onion diced
2 cloves garlic (diced) or tablespoon of minced from a jar
1 tablespoon butter
1 egg
1 cup milk / 1/2 & 1/2 preferred
1 cup bread crumb$ / Italian preferred
1 tablespoon Worcestershire
2 table brown sugar
2/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
t tablespoon parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper

mix the brown sugar, 2/3 ketchup and yellow mustard together and set a side, this will be for the glaze.

sautée the butter, diced onions and 2 cloves of garlic over medium low heat for 2-3 minutes until softened just bit

in a large bowl add to the ground beef - paprika, 2 tablespoons ketchup, parsley, granulated garlic, salt, pepper, Worcestershire and butter, onion and garlic mixture

whisk together the egg and milk and add to the meat mixture

add the bread crumbs to the meat mixture and fold in everything until it is well combined, but do not over mix.

cover the meat mixture and refrigerate for 45 minutes to one hour

get the meat mixture out of the fridge and shape it into a loaf and place on a rack on top of an aluminum foil covered cookie sheet.

place in a preheated 350 degree oven for about an hour, but I check the internal temperature and pull it out when the internal reaches 160 degrees and cover it loosely with aluminum foil for 10-15 minutes

Note - after 30 minutes in the oven, is when you will glaze it with the brown sugar, ketchup and mustard mixture

The keys to this recipe are to sauté the butter onions, and garlic before adding to the meat, using 1/2 and 1/2 and putting it in the refrigerator before making it into a loaf

ENJOY!
