Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a half sheet pan with heavy-duty foil, spray it lightly with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the onions in olive oil until tender and browned, about 10 minutes. Pour the onions into a large bowl.
To the bowl with onions, add the ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, 1 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and parsley. Mix everything well until combined, but do not over mix.
Form the mixture into a long log shape on the prepared baking sheet and flatten the top.
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and the remaining 1 1/2 cups ketchup to form a glaze.
Spread the glaze over the top of the meatloaf. Bake covered with foil for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until cooked thoroughly and the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F.
Let the meatloaf rest, covered lightly with foil, for 10-15 minutes before cutting.
Serve with additional chopped parsley if desired.

Notes
