Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 0.5 lb Ground pork
• 1 small, finely chopped Onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup, divided Ketchup
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp, finely chopped (optional) Parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes until the crumbs absorb the liquid.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, soaked breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and parsley if using.

Step 4

Mix everything together gently with your hands or a large spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense texture in the meat loaves.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a loaf approximately 4 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the loaves onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.

Step 6

Brush the tops of each meat loaf with the remaining ketchup for added flavor and a glossy glaze.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 8

Allow the meat loaves to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies for a complete meal!
