Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon water
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ cup bread crumbs
• 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
• ¼ teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 pinch parsley flakes, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Beat 1 egg in a large bowl until foamy. Add onion, ground beef, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic; mix until combined. Mold mixture into a loaf on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Unroll crescent rolls and use to cover meatloaf completely, seaming seals and perforations so that no meat is visible.

Step 5

Whisk remaining egg and water in a small bowl to make egg wash. Brush egg wash over crust.

Step 6

Bake meatloaf in the preheated oven until crust is very dark and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 45 minutes.
