Ingredients:
- 2 cans of tuna, drained
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, onion, and garlic. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the tuna mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
4. Grease a loaf pan with some cooking spray or olive oil. Transfer the tuna mixture into the greased pan, pressing it down gently to form an even loaf shape.
5. Bake the tuna meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the meatloaf is cooked through.
6. Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully remove it from the loaf pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
7. Slice the tuna meatloaf into thick slices and serve it warm. You can enjoy it as is or serve it with your favorite tomato sauce or a squeeze of lemon juice.
8. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat the slices in the microwave or oven before serving.
