Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat)
- 0.5 pounds Ground pork
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet or loaf pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large skillet, heat a teaspoon of oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, sautéed onion and garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, black pepper, paprika, and half of the ketchup. Mix everything together gently with your hands until just combined—avoid over-mixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet or into the loaf pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ketchup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Halfway through cooking, baste the top with additional glaze if desired.
Once cooked, let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute for a moist and flavorful result.
Serve warm with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad. Enjoy your delicious, heart-winning meatloaf!
