Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp. tomato paste
  • 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

  • 1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 3/4 lb. ground beef chuck

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. In a bowl, combine the ketchup and brown sugar.
