1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan, eggs, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into a large bowl and smush/knead it around with your hands until everything is completely mixed.

Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, brown sugar, mustard, cayenne, and Worcestershire and stir it together.
4
Place the meat mixture on a drip pan (a pan with a slotted tray on top) and form it into a big honkin loaf shape.
5

6
(Leave any excess juices in the bowl.)
7
Tent the pan with foil and bake it for 40 minutes.
8
Remove the foil and continue baking it for another 30 to 40 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees and the meatloaf is no longer pink in the middle.
9
Cut it into thick slice and serve it with your favorite sides.
