Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and pork with finely chopped onions and minced garlic. Add breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, and chosen herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Mix gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  2. Transfer the meat mixture to a lined baking sheet or loaf pan. Shape it into a loaf, creating shallow indentations on top for glaze absorption.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together ketchup, brown sugar, and your choice of vinegar or mustard until smooth. Brush the glaze over the top of the meatloaf.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for about 60 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the top is browned.
  5. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives, and serve with your favorite sides.
