A savory, cheesy twist on classic meatloaf with garlic, Parmesan, and herbs. Juicy on the inside with a golden, flavorful crust.
2 lbs ground beef (or 1 lb beef + 1 lb turkey)
¾ cup breadcrumbs
½ cup milk
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
2 eggs
1 small onion, finely diced
3–4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp chopped parsley or 1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or spray loaf pan.
Soak breadcrumbs in milk for 5 minutes.
Sauté onion and garlic until softened (optional), then cool.
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix gently until just combined.
Shape into a loaf on prepared sheet or press into loaf pan.
Top with extra Parmesan and bake for 50–60 minutes, until 160°F inside.
Rest 10 minutes before slicing.
For crispier edges, bake on a sheet instead of a pan.
Add spinach, carrots, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
Store leftovers in fridge 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
