Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.5 pounds ground pork
- 1 cups breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup (for meat mixture)
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 cups ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, ground pork, soaked breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together using your hands or a large spoon until fully combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in a dense meatloaf.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down gently to shape it evenly.
In another small bowl, prepare the glaze by mixing the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. 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 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices and makes it easier to slice.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Meatloaf Cxliii with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables!
