Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef (80/20 or 85/15 blend)
- 0.5 pounds Ground pork
- 1 large Yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, finely chopped (optional)
- 0.5 cup Ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or use a loaf pan, and lightly grease it with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let the mixture soak for 5 minutes until the breadcrumbs have absorbed the liquid.
Add the ground beef, ground pork, diced onion, minced garlic, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and chopped parsley (if using) to the bowl. Mix everything gently with your hands until just combined—avoid overmixing to ensure a tender meatloaf.
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape (approximately 9 inches long and 4 inches wide) directly on the prepared baking sheet or press it into a loaf pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze. Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top and sides of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the meatloaf and spread the remaining glaze on top.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Once cooked, let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy the 'Omg' reaction from everyone at the table!
