Ingredients

• 500 grams ground beef
• 250 grams ground pork
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 100 grams breadcrumbs
• 60 ml milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 60 ml ketchup
• 30 ml sriracha sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a standard loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to soak up the liquid.

Step 3

Add the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, red bell pepper, parsley, egg, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the soaked breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Mix everything thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until well combined, being careful not to overmix as this can make the loaf dense.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to ensure it's evenly packed.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the ketchup and sriracha sauce together. Spread this spicy glaze evenly over the top of the loaf.

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables.
