Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 or 85/15)
  • ½ pound ground pork
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (regular or panko)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk (whole milk or non-dairy alternative)
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional spices: smoked paprika or Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup ketchup (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, onion, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  3. Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared pan or baking sheet. Shape it into a loaf and smooth out the top.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to make the glaze.
  5. Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf. Reserve the remaining glaze for later.
  6. Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, spread the remaining glaze over the top, and return to the oven.
  7. Continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  8. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
