Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Parmesan Meatloaf
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, minced garlic, freshly grated Parmesan, and milk. Add chopped fresh parsley, dried oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Transfer the mixture into a parchment-lined loaf pan or shape it on a baking sheet for a freeform loaf. Form a compact loaf that is roughly 2 inches high.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the meatloaf in the center. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  4. Brush the top of the meatloaf with garlic butter or marinara sauce during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  5. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes after baking before slicing to retain moisture.
