A delicious and hearty meatloaf recipe with a flavorful glaze, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, grated carrot, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
Grating the carrot helps it blend seamlessly into the meat mixture.
Mix the ingredients gently until just combined.
Overmixing can make the meatloaf dense.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a baking dish.
Use a spatula to smooth the top for an even glaze application.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar for the glaze.
Adjust the sweetness of the glaze by adding more or less sugar.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Ensure the glaze covers the entire top for a flavorful crust.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the slices cleaner and juicier.
