Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef lean
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup ketchup for topping
Equipment
- Loaf pan (9x5 inches or similar)
- Large mixing bowl
- Small bowl for beating eggs
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Meat thermometer (optional)
Method
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Mix Meat: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef and ground pork.
- Add Vegetables & Bind: Stir in breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, and fresh parsley.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat eggs in a small bowl and add them to the meat mixture. Pour in milk, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Shape the Loaf: Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan. Shape it into a loaf, pressing it down evenly.
- Add Glaze: Spread ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake: Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- Rest and Serve: Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Fresh breadcrumbs are preferred for moisture, but you can use store-bought breadcrumbs if needed.
- Ground Meat Variations: You can substitute ground pork with turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
- Cheese Twist: Add some shredded cheddar or mozzarella to the meat mixture for a cheesy surprise.
- Freezing: This meatloaf freezes well. Let it cool completely, then wrap it tightly and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Resting: Allowing the meatloaf to rest before slicing helps it stay moist and flavorful.
