Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.75 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cup ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until it is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, sautéd onion and garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated but do not overmix.
Shape the mixture into a loaf on the prepared baking sheet, or place it evenly into a loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and sriracha to make the glaze. Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove it from the oven and spread the remaining glaze on top. Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with your favorite sides and enjoy!
