Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground beef
• 0.5 pounds ground pork
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.75 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cups ketchup
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon sriracha

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and milk. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, hot sauce, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with your hands or a spoon until just combined.

Step 4

Add the soaked breadcrumbs to the meat mixture and mix again until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 5

Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape on the prepared baking sheet, or transfer it into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine ketchup, brown sugar, and sriracha. Mix well to make the glaze.

Step 7

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 8

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 9

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute for a moist and flavorful meatloaf.

Step 10

Slice and serve Sylvia's Hot and Spicy Meatloaf with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
