Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Ground beef
- 0.5 lbs Ground pork
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tbsp Maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 3 tbsp Ketchup
- 2 tbsp Maple syrup (for glaze)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.
Add the ground beef, ground pork, eggs, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, sage, garlic, onion, salt, and black pepper to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan, shaping it into a loaf approximately 9x5 inches.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and Dijon mustard to create the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf, using a spoon or pastry brush.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 160°F (71°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
