Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 250 grams Italian sausage (casings removed)
- 120 grams breadcrumbs
- 60 milliliters milk
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 60 milliliters ketchup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and 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 liquid.
Add the ground chicken, Italian sausage (with casings removed), grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, diced onion, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
Using clean hands or a spatula, mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the prepared loaf pan. Press it in gently to form an even layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to create the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve hot with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, green beans, or a fresh salad.
