Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 cup onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup carrot, grated
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, grated carrot, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Use clean hands or a wooden spoon to mix until evenly incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into a loaf shape and place it into the prepared loaf pan. Press gently to ensure an even shape.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top.

Step 7

Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain moisture and makes it easier to serve.

Step 9

Slice and serve the meatloaf with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or a green salad. Enjoy!
