Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground beef
• 0.5 pounds ground pork
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.75 cups breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cups ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.5 cups ketchup (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 3

Using clean hands or a large spoon, mix the ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 4

Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet or into the loaf pan.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top. Return it to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 9

Once cooked, let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad for a hearty and satisfying meal.
