Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 0.5 lb ground pork
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to soak up the milk.
Add the ground beef, ground pork, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the breadcrumb mixture.
Use clean hands to mix everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf tough.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Press it down gently to form an even loaf shape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard for the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist meatloaf.
