Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef
- 0.5 pounds ground pork
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 stalks celery stalks, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 tablespoons Creole seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 0.75 cups ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Creole mustard (or spicy brown mustard)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the onions, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic in a small amount of oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, cooked vegetables, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Creole seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Mix everything thoroughly with your hands or a wooden spoon, but avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and shape it evenly into a loaf.
In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Creole mustard to create the glaze. Spread half of the glaze over the top of the meatloaf, reserving the rest for later.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
