Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 large egg
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.25 cup ketchup (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, ground pork, eggs, breadcrumbs, and milk.
Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, 1/2 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried parsley.
Using clean hands or a large spoon, mix everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as that can result in a dense meatloaf.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to shape it into a loaf.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to create the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf, ensuring it is fully coated.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
