Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup carrot, grated
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, grated carrot, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Use clean hands or a wooden spoon to mix until evenly incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Shape the mixture into a loaf shape and place it into the prepared loaf pan. Press gently to ensure an even shape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and white vinegar to create the glaze.
Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf. Reserve the remaining half for later.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain moisture and makes it easier to serve.
Slice and serve the meatloaf with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or a green salad. Enjoy!
