Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 pound Ground pork
• 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
• 0.5 cup Onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 0.25 cup Pineapple juice (reserved from can)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan lightly with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, drained crushed pineapple, chopped onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, and a tablespoon of brown sugar. Mix everything together until well incorporated but avoid overmixing.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to form an even layer.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, remaining tablespoon of brown sugar, and pineapple juice. This will form your glaze.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf 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 and serving.

Step 11

Enjoy your Hawaiian Meatloaf with a side of rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad!
