In a large bowl, combine ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ⅓ cup of ketchup, parsley, salt, pepper, and thyme (if using). Mix with your hands until just combined. Form into a loaf and place in a disposable loaf pan or shape a foil pan.

Remove the meatloaf using the rack handles. Drain any liquid and brush the loaf with the remaining ketchup. For extra flavor, broil in the oven for 3–4 minutes until caramelized.

about me

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a chef — just someone who loves to cook and needed a place to gather and share the recipes that have shaped my kitchen.

 

From the classics that are always on rotation to the discoveries I’ve stumbled upon along the way, you’ll find them here. Each recipe is shared in its original form, with Anthology’s Notes added at the end to reflect the tweaks and touches that suit our table.

 

Over the years I’ve tried to make many recipes my own, so you’ll also see those variations woven in.

 

Basically: cook, taste, adjust, and repeat.
