Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 60 milliliters Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped Yellow onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 50 grams Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let them soak for 5 minutes to create a panade.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking for 3–4 minutes until softened. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, the breadcrumb and milk mixture, cooled onion and garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, dried parsley, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick aluminum foil. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf approximately 6 inches long and 3 inches wide, compacting it enough to prevent cracks.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and brown sugar to create the glaze. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meat loaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
Allow the meat loaf to rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing into thick portions and serving with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
