Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.5 lb Ground pork
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.25 cup BBQ sauce or extra ketchup (for topping)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Shape the mixture into a loaf shape, approximately 8-9 inches long and about 3-4 inches wide. Set aside.
Heat a large cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, carefully place the meatloaf in the skillet.
Cook the meatloaf for 3-4 minutes on each side to brown and form a crust. Carefully use a spatula to roll and rotate the loaf until all sides are golden brown.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid or foil, and allow the meatloaf to cook through for 25-30 minutes. Check periodically to ensure it does not burn, adjusting the heat if necessary.
After 25 minutes, brush the top of the meatloaf with BBQ sauce or ketchup. Cover again and allow it to cook for an additional 5 minutes until the topping caramelizes slightly.
To ensure the meatloaf is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should read 160°F (71°C).
Remove the skillet from heat and let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or sautéed vegetables. Enjoy!
