Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 9x5 loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the meatloaf ingredients. Use gloved hands for the most efficient mixing.
Shape meat mixture into a loaf and place in the prepared pan.
Combine the ingredients for the sauce in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, whisking, for 2-3 minutes. Spread half of the sauce over the prepared meatloaf.
Bake for 30 minutes; top with remaining sauce, and then cook for an additional 45 minutes or until the center of the meatloaf reaches 160°F.
Remove from the oven and let rest for several minutes before slicing. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Notes
Storage:Once the meatloaf has cooled, keep leftovers in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer for 3 months. Store in an airtight container, or wrap in plastic wrap and foil. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving if freezing. Notes:You can freeze the raw loaf. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze. Thaw overnight in the fridge and bake as instructed. (Do not freeze the meatloaf if the meat was previously frozen.)Lipton soup mix adds great flavor without using fresh onions and a lot of different seasonings. This also cuts down on the prep work. If you are using a homemade blend, you'll need ¼ cup (about 1 ounce). I have a great recipe for homemade onion soup mix on my other site.For easier mixing, whisk the eggs together and stir the milk in. Then add to the rest of the ingredients. Use gloved hands for a more sanitary experience and for quick clean-up.
