Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 0.5 pound ground pork
• 1 medium, finely diced onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 0.75 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, diced onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, dry mustard powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a large spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down gently to shape it evenly.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

Once done, let the meatloaf rest in the pan for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Carefully remove the meatloaf from the pan, slice, and serve warm with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
