Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.5 pounds Italian sausage
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 cup ketchup (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and Italian sausage. Mix gently to combine.

Step 3

In a small bowl, soak the breadcrumbs in milk for 5 minutes and then add to the meat mixture.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the meat mixture.

Step 5

Using clean hands or a wooden spoon, mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing lightly to form an even shape.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf. Reserve the other half for later.

Step 9

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 10

After 40 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top.

Step 11

Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Slice the meatloaf into thick portions and serve warm. Enjoy with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables for a comforting meal!
