Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef (85% lean)
• 0.5 pounds Ground pork
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (optional, for sautéing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 2

In a small skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion in olive oil (optional) until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, sautéed onion and garlic, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, parsley, kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf shape (approximately 9x5 inches) and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to create the glaze. Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top and sides of the meatloaf, reserving the other half for later.

Step 6

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove it from the oven, spread the remaining glaze over the top, and return it to the oven for another 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 7

While the meatloaf bakes, prepare the rosemary gravy. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.

Step 8

Slowly whisk in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps remain. Cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes until it thickens. Stir in the minced rosemary and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with the rosemary gravy drizzled over the top.
