Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 0.5 pound ground pork
• 0.5 pound ground turkey
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 piece large egg
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, and ground turkey until well mixed.

Step 3

Add the breadcrumbs and milk to the bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the liquid.

Step 4

Mix in the chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, egg, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Step 5

Stir until evenly combined, but avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 6

Divide the meat mixture in half. Press one half into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan to form a flat base.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the base layer, avoiding the edges to prevent the cheese from leaking out during cooking.

Step 8

Cover the cheese layer with the remaining meat mixture, pressing gently to seal the edges.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
