Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef
- 0.5 pounds ground pork
- 0.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups milk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and milk. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to soak.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, soaked breadcrumbs, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down evenly, shaping it into a loaf if not using a pan.
In a separate bowl, whisk 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.
Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Remove 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).
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
