This honey mustard glazed meatloaf features a juicy, savory beef base with a sticky-sweet, tangy glaze that caramelizes in the oven. It’s a comforting, family-friendly dinner that’s easy to prepare and perfect for leftovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900g) ground beef (85% lean)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 large carrot, shredded (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1 cup (100g) breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned, or gluten-free alternative)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk (any kind, dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons (8g) salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2g) black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons (8g) fresh parsley, chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried parsley)
  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) Worcestershire sauce (for glaze)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2g) smoked paprika (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and milk. Let sit for 5 minutes to soak.
  3. Finely dice the onion, shred the carrot, and mince the garlic. Optionally, sauté onion and carrot in a splash of oil for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  4. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, soaked breadcrumbs, eggs, prepared veggies, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix gently until just combined.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan. Press gently to fill the corners and smooth the top. If free-forming, shape into a loaf on a lined baking sheet.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together honey, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika (if using) to make the glaze.
  7. Brush about 2/3 of the glaze over the top and sides of the loaf. Reserve the rest for basting later.
  8. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Brush with the remaining glaze and return to the oven for another 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Tent with foil if the glaze browns too quickly.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with extra glaze if desired.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute part or all of the beef with ground turkey or chicken. To make gluten-free, use certified gluten-free breadcrumbs. For dairy-free, use non-dairy milk. Let the meatloaf rest before slicing for best texture. Double the glaze if you love extra sauce. Leftovers make excellent sandwiches.
