Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef
• 0.5 pounds Ground pork
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
• 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cups Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard loaf pan or baking tray with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the milk and panko breadcrumbs; let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, eggs, soaked breadcrumbs, minced garlic, diced onion, chopped fresh rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Using clean hands, gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 5

Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan or shape it into a loaf form on the baking tray. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to make the glaze.

Step 7

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf using a spoon or pastry brush.

Step 8

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.

Step 9

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist meatloaf.

Step 10

Slice and serve warm, optionally garnished with additional fresh rosemary. Pair with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
