Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
- Combine the meatloaf mix, breadcrumbs, parsley, eggs, onion, garlic, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, 1 tablespoon of the Worcestershire, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large mixing bowl. Using your hands, mix together until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and form it into a compact oval-shaped loaf about 9 inches by 5 inches. Bake the meatloaf for 30 minutes.
- Stir the brown sugar together with the remaining 1/4 cup ketchup and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire in a small bowl for the glaze. Brush the top and sides of the meatloaf all over with the glaze. Return to the oven and bake until the glaze starts to caramelize and a thermometer inserted in the center of the meatloaf registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground meat: Mac's Magnificent Meatloaf recipe uses a combination of ground beef and ground pork, but you can also use all beef, all pork, or a mix of other ground meats, such as lamb, venison, or turkey.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your meatloaf will taste. Look for ground meat that is fresh, not frozen, and free of gristle and fat.
- Don't overwork the meat mixture: Overworking the meat mixture can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Shape the meatloaf firmly: To prevent the meatloaf from falling apart, shape it firmly into a loaf shape before baking.
- Cook the meatloaf at the right temperature: The meatloaf should be cooked at a moderate temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Once the meatloaf is cooked, let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it more flavorful and moist.
Conclusion:
Mac's Magnificent Meatloaf is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its savory blend of ground meat, spices, and vegetables, this meatloaf is sure to please everyone at the table.
