| Servings: | 8 |
| Yield: | 1 9×5-inch meatloaf |
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- ¾ cup minced onion
- ½ cup finely chopped bell pepper
- ½ cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¾ cup ketchup, divided
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, divided
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ¾ cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 2 pounds ground sirloin
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Combine onion, bell pepper, milk, eggs, garlic, 2 tablespoons ketchup, parsley, 3 teaspoons Worcestershire, thyme, and Dijon in a large bowl and mix well. Stir in bread crumbs. Add ground sirloin, salt, and pepper; mix until just combined. Form mixture into a loaf shape and fit into the prepared pan.
- Combine remaining ketchup with balsamic vinegar and remaining 1 teaspoon Worcestershire in a small bowl. Mix until well combined and spread over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake in the preheated oven until an instant read thermometer inserted in the center reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 1 hour. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. The longer it sits, the easier it will be to slice.
- No loaf pan? No problem! Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape and bake it in any pan. Cook times may need to be adjusted slightly.

Reviews
The meatloaf came out moist and firm
It is definitely better than my mom’s meatloaf. Great flavor and texture.
It was very good, though I didn’t have any green pepper. Next time I will since I know it adds great flavor(My mom always used it) Would like to try adding a little more of all the seasonings to enhance the flavor a little more. The ketchup mixture on top was fabulous and the whole family enjoyed the meal. I don’t need to look any further for a great meatloaf recipe!
Great recipe. I cut it in half and it turned out great. I like peppers so I did green and red. My husband said best meat loaf I have ever made. Even better the next day…sliced and fried…so good! Thank you Nicole for sharing this recipe!
The flavor of this meatloaf is wonderful! Everything melds together perfectly without one flavor overpowering another. The balsamic and ketchup glaze really adds to it so don’t skip it! I’m really pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this dish because I’m not much of a beef eater but I just had to write a raving review. Thank you, I’m making this again.
I made this out of curiosity because the changes were not big changes. It didn’t matter, I just wanted a good meatloaf and I got it! I had to make a few small changes like no bell pepper because I didn’t have any. I also used dried thyme instead of fresh and I used ground round instead of sirloin. It still came out delicious! It still was Mom’s but better! The taste was incredible! I thought the type of meat may make it dry or tough but it was soft, juicy and the ketchup topping revised will not let you down. My husband’s first bite brought a big yell- This is great! This is a keeper!
