Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
• 0.5 pounds ground pork
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 medium white onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 cup ketchup (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let this mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to soak up the milk.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, ground pork, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, beaten eggs, soaked breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 4

Using clean hands, gently mix all the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 5

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 8

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 9

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meatloaf moist.

Step 10

Slice and serve warm. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
