📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, chopped celery, and minced garlic.

3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour this mixture into the bowl with the meat and vegetables.

4. Add the breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients gently using your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatloaf dense.

5. Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to create an even surface.

6. In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to make the topping.

7. Spread the topping mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

8. Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

9. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
