Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef
- 0.5 pounds Ground pork
- 1 cups Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cups Ketchup
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to soak up the milk.
Add the ground beef, ground pork, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, pepper, and parsley (if using) to the breadcrumb mixture. Use clean hands or a large spoon to mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan. Shape it into a loaf form if using a baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of ketchup, the brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to make the glaze. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your favorite sides and enjoy!
