Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 0.5 pounds ground pork
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.5 cup ketchup (for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Use your hands or a wooden spoon to mix gently.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, 0.25 cup of ketchup, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the meat mixture. Mix until evenly combined but be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Gently press it down to form an even loaf, ensuring there are no air pockets.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the glaze ingredients: 0.5 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until smooth.

Step 6

Spread the glaze mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf with a spoon or spatula, ensuring it is fully covered.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will ensure the juices redistribute and the slices hold their shape.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a garden salad, and enjoy!
