Beef and Pork Meatloaf with a Brown Sugar Ketchup Glaze
A two-pound mixed beef-and-pork meatloaf with a separate ketchup and brown sugar glaze, baked on a rimmed tray.
Ingredients
Meatloaf
- 1 pound ground beef 85–90% lean
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup finely diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic Minced
- 2 large eggs Beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Glaze
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat to 350°F and line a rimmed baking tray. Moisten breadcrumbs with milk, then stir in Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, diced onion, pepper, salt, and beaten eggs.
- Fold in ground beef and pork without extended kneading. Shape an even loaf about 9×5×2 inches on the tray.
- Bake 45–50 minutes. Separately stir ketchup and packed brown sugar together.
- Brush on the glaze with a clean utensil and continue baking another 15–25 minutes or longer as needed, verifying 160°F in the thickest center.
- Rest 10 minutes, then cut into approximately 8 slices.
Notes
The glaze is separate from the meat mixture. Use equal weights of beef and pork, verify 160°F before resting, and reheat cooked leftovers to 165°F.
