Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.5 pounds ground pork
• 1 cups breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups milk
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons ketchup (for meat mixture)
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 cups ketchup (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, ground pork, soaked breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Mix the ingredients together using your hands or a large spoon until fully combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in a dense meatloaf.

Step 5

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down gently to shape it evenly.

Step 6

In another small bowl, prepare the glaze by mixing the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices and makes it easier to slice.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Meatloaf Cxliii with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables!
