Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Ketchup (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix gently to combine.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, parsley, salt, and pepper to the meat mixture.
Mix everything together until evenly combined, but avoid overmixing as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a loaf, roughly 8 inches long and 4 inches wide. Smooth the surface to create an even shape.
In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze.
Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf using a spoon or spatula.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help keep the meatloaf juicy and flavorful.
Slice the meatloaf into thick pieces and serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes and green beans. Enjoy!
