Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 2 slices White bread
- 60 milliliters Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 medium-sized, finely chopped Onion
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 20 grams Butter
- 1 tablespoon Mustard
- 120 milliliters Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
In a small bowl, soak the slices of white bread in the milk for a few minutes until softened, then squeeze out excess milk and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, soaked bread, egg, finely chopped onion, breadcrumbs, ground nutmeg, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well using your hands or a sturdy mixing spoon until fully combined.
Step 4
Transfer the meat mixture to a greased or parchment-lined loaf pan, shaping it into a compact meatloaf.
Step 5
Spread the mustard evenly over the surface of the meatloaf.
Step 6
Cut the butter into small cubes and dot them over the top of the meatloaf.
Step 7
Pour the water into the loaf pan around the meatloaf (not on top of it). This will help keep the meatloaf moist as it bakes.
Step 8
Place the loaf pan into the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 70°C (160°F).
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Step 10
Serve warm, ideally with mashed potatoes and a side of vegetables for a classic Dutch meal!
