Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.5 pounds Ground pork
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 4 tablespoons Ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and parsley.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until they are just combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture to avoid a dense meatloaf.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a loaf, pressing down gently to remove any air pockets.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to create the glaze.

Step 6

Spread half of the glaze over the top of the meatloaf, reserving the other half for later.

Step 7

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove it from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top.

Step 8

Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 160°F (71°C).

Step 9

Once cooked, let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more tender and flavorful result.

Step 10

Serve warm with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite sides, and enjoy!
