- 3 large eggs (beaten)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a half-sheet pan by lining it with foil and spraying it with nonstick spray.

- Form the mixture into a log shape on the prepared baking sheet and flatten the top gently.
- In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar with the remaining 1 1/2 cups ketchup for the glaze, then spread generously over the meatloaf.
- Cover the meatloaf loosely with foil and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 160°F.
- Rest for 10-15 minutes under foil before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
