1 tsp yellow mustard

1/2 tsp dried oregano (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix ground meat, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, thyme, and Parmesan cheese until just combined.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in the pan or on the baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Spread half over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake for 45-55 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Brush with the remaining glaze 15 minutes before the end of baking.
