Description
A delicious twist on classic meatloaf, combining hearty flavors with rich French onion soup.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 1/2 lb ground pork
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 packet French onion soup mix
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 10-12 minutes until caramelized. Add minced garlic in the last minute, then remove from heat and let cool.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, French onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Add cooled onion mixture and mix until combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan and shape into a loaf. Bake for 50-60 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- For the glaze, whisk together ketchup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. After baking for 40 minutes, spread glaze over the meatloaf and return to oven for an additional 10-15 minutes until bubbly.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with sides of choice.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Don’t overmix to keep the meatloaf tender. Customize the glaze with herbs or spices if desired.
