Classic American Meatloaf

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley.

Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a lightly greased loaf pan.

In a separate bowl, stir together crushed tomatoes, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze.

Spread half of the tomato glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Bake for 45 minutes, then spread the remaining glaze on top.

Return to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
