Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the meatloaf.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, egg, milk, salt, and black pepper until well mixed.

- Bake: Bake the meatloaf for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C), ensuring it is cooked thoroughly.

Notes
- Make sure the internal temperature reaches 160°F to ensure the meatloaf is fully cooked and safe to eat.
- Letting the meatloaf rest before slicing helps keep it moist and prevents it from falling apart.
- You can add a glaze or sauce on top before baking if desired for extra flavor.
- Use fresh parsley for the best flavor, but dried parsley can substitute in a pinch (use less).
- To reduce sodium, adjust or omit added salt as needed.
