Meatloaf Ingredients

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your meatloaf cooks evenly.

  2. 2

    Mix the Meat Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Add the breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    Shape the Meatloaf

    Transfer the meat mixture to a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a lined baking sheet. Make sure it's evenly shaped for even cooking.

  4. 4

    Top with Ketchup

    Spread ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf. This adds flavor and moisture while it bakes.

  5. 5

    Bake the Meatloaf

    Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

  6. 6

    Let it Rest

    Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice the meatloaf and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade baked meatloaf!
