Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 0.5 lb Ground pork
- 1 small, finely chopped Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup, divided Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp, finely chopped (optional) Parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes until the crumbs absorb the liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, soaked breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and parsley if using.
Mix everything together gently with your hands or a large spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense texture in the meat loaves.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a loaf approximately 4 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the loaves onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Brush the tops of each meat loaf with the remaining ketchup for added flavor and a glossy glaze.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Allow the meat loaves to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies for a complete meal!
