Ingredients

• 2 lbs Ground beef
• 0.5 lbs Ground pork
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 medium Green bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup Ketchup (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Mix gently with your hands until all ingredients are evenly combined. Do not overmix to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 3

Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Transfer the meat mixture into the pan, pressing it down gently to ensure an even shape.

Step 4

In a small bowl, prepare the glaze by mixing the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard until smooth. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 5

Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 6

Once baked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute within the meatloaf, keeping it tender and moist.

Step 7

Slice and serve your Cheesecake Factory Style Meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes and gravy or roasted vegetables.
