Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 250 grams Ground pork
• 1 medium White onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 100 grams Breadcrumbs
• 60 ml Whole milk
• 2 large Eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 400 grams Canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to absorb.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, diced onion, minced garlic, soaked breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, ground black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix until fully combined but do not overwork the mixture.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down evenly. Smooth the surface with a spatula.

Step 5

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 6

While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the tomato relish. In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the canned crushed tomatoes, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and paprika. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Step 7

After 30 minutes of baking, remove the meatloaf from the oven and evenly spread the tomato relish over the top.

Step 8

Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F) and the top is slightly caramelized.

Step 9

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm with your choice of sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
