A delicious and hearty meatloaf recipe that is perfect for family dinners.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, ketchup, breadcrumbs, eggs, salt, and pepper.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatloaf dense.
Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan, pressing it down gently to shape it.
Use a spatula to smooth the top for even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar to make the glaze.
Adjust the sweetness of the glaze by varying the amount of sugar.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Use the back of a spoon to spread the glaze smoothly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatloaf is fully cooked.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meatloaf moist.
