1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup fresh bread crumbs (from 2 slices firm white sandwich bread)
3/4 cup whole milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Gently combine meat if necessary, then add to bread-crumb mixture along with onion mixture and gently knead with your hands until just combined. (Mixture will be moist. Wipe out skillet and reserve.)

  • Turn on broiler and broil meatloaves 2 to 3 inches from heat until glaze is slightly caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Serve meatloaves topped with bacon.

These individual meatloaves were a hit with my family! They were so moist and flavorful, and the bacon crisps added a nice touch of crunch. I will definitely be making these again.
