Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground beef
• 0.5 pounds ground pork
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 0.25 cup ketchup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until evenly combined.

Step 3

Transfer the meat mixture into a lightly greased loaf pan or shape it into a loaf shape on a foil-lined baking sheet.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato sauce, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and ketchup to create the 'bloody' glaze.

Step 5

Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf, reserving the other half for later.

Step 6

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps retain its juices and makes it easier to cut.

Step 9

Plate your slices and drizzle with any extra glaze if desired for a bloody, dramatic effect!
