Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, and milk. Mix gently until combined and let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the liquid.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, paprika, and chopped parsley to the meat mixture. Use clean hands or a wooden spoon to mix until well incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and press it down gently to form an even loaf shape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze. Spread half the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 160°F (70°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
About 15 minutes before the meatloaf is finished baking, remove it from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top. Return it to the oven to finish baking.
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Carefully remove the meatloaf from the pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy with your favorite sides, like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables!
