Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 0.5 pounds Ground pork
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Ketchup (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet or loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, and breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Pour the milk over the breadcrumbs to moisten them, then add the eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper to the mixture.

Step 4

Using your hands, gently mix all the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the mixture, as this can result in a dense meatloaf.

Step 5

Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to create the glaze.

Step 7

Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 8

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top.

Step 9

Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 10

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with mashed potatoes and vegetables for a classic dinner.

Step 11

For meal two, slice leftover meatloaf and use in sandwiches, wraps, or on top of salads for an easy, flavorful lunch or dinner!
