Instructions
Prepare the loaf
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Cover a jelly roll pan/cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl mix together the Parmesan Cheese, milk, egg, salt, pepper, black pepper, dried parsley, thyme, granulated garlic, onion and bread crumbs.
  3. Add the ground beef and mix lightly with your hands. Mix just until the pre-mixed ingredients are fully dispersed into the ground beef.
  4. Using your hands form the meatloaf into a nice oval loaf. Make sure to lightly form the loaf and not to press it too hard. Place the loaf on the parchment lined pan.
Prepare the Topping
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard and cider vinegar.
  2. Pour the topping over the formed loaf.
