Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground beef
• 0.5 pounds ground pork
• 0.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cups milk
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cups ketchup
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon apple cider 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 small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and milk. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to soak.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, soaked breadcrumbs, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down evenly, shaping it into a loaf if not using a pan.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and spread the remaining glaze on top.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
