Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 500 grams ground pork
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 100 grams mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans), roughly chopped
- 100 grams breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 60 milliliters milk
- 15 milliliters Worcestershire sauce
- 15 grams fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 60 milliliters ketchup
- 30 grams brown sugar

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
Step 3
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, mixed nuts, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Use clean hands or a wooden spoon to mix until evenly combined.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Press down gently to eliminate air pockets and shape the top for even cooking.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make a glaze.
Step 6
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf using a spoon or pastry brush.
Step 7
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Step 8
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes in the pan to allow the juices to settle.
Step 9
Carefully lift the meatloaf out of the pan and transfer it to a cutting board. Slice and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
