Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 0.5 pounds Ground pork
• 1 cup Plain breadcrumbs
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the liquid, creating a panade.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, soaked breadcrumbs, eggs, diced onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup of ketchup, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 4

Using your hands (or a wooden spoon), gently mix until all ingredients are just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a loaf approximately 9 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 3 inches tall.

Step 6

Make the glaze by whisking together the remaining 1/4 cup of ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.

Step 7

Brush half of the glaze evenly over the meatloaf, reserving the rest for later.

Step 8

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove it from the oven, brush the remaining glaze on top, and return it to the oven for another 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 9

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

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