Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 Eggs
- 75 grams Breadcrumbs
- 60 milliliters Milk
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 75 grams Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the milk and breadcrumbs. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, and soaked breadcrumbs. Add the eggs, parsley, thyme, onions, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly with your hands or a wooden spoon until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down lightly to shape it evenly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to create the glaze. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F).
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes in the pan to allow the juices to redistribute.
Carefully lift the meatloaf out of the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Slice and serve warm alongside your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
