**Ingredients:**
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon paprika
– 1/4 cup ketchup
– 1 tablespoon brown sugar
– 8 slices white bread, crusts removed
– 2 tablespoons butter, melted
– Fresh parsley, for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
3. In a separate small bowl, mix the ketchup and brown sugar to make the glaze.
4. Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin to make it thin.
5. Brush each flattened bread slice with melted butter.
6. Arrange the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet, slightly overlapping them to form a large rectangle.
7. Place the ground beef mixture on top of the bread slices and shape it into a loaf, leaving some space around the edges.
8. Brush the meatloaf with the ketchup glaze, making sure to coat it evenly.
9. Carefully lift the edges of the bread slices and fold them over the meatloaf, pressing to seal the edges.
10. Brush the top of the bread-wrapped meatloaf with any remaining melted butter.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the bread crust is golden brown.
12. Once done, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
13. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
