Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 250 grams ground pork
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 100 grams breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 100 milliliters milk
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons ketchup (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (for topping)
- 0.5 teaspoon dry mustard powder (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and lightly grease a standard loaf tin with vegetable oil.
In a small bowl, combine the milk and breadcrumbs. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, soaked breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Mix everything together thoroughly using your hands or a wooden spoon until well combined, but avoid overmixing to ensure the meatloaf stays tender.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf tin and press it down evenly to form a compact loaf.
In a separate bowl, prepare the topping by mixing ketchup, brown sugar, and dry mustard powder until smooth.
Spread the topping mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the loaf tin in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F). If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover with aluminum foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the tin for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
