Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 0.5 pound ground pork
• 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.25 cup ketchup (for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the breadcrumbs absorb the milk and soften.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, softened breadcrumb mixture, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, 1/4 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Use your hands or a spatula to gently mix everything together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 5

Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, 1/4 cup ketchup, and Dijon mustard to create the glaze.

Step 7

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 8

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (70°C).

Step 9

Once cooked, let the meatloaf rest in the pan for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Spoon portions onto plates and serve with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
