Ingredients

  • 500 g Ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 200 g Pork sausage
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 120 ml Ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire
  • 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Mustard

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Sauté onion, celery, and garlic in butter until softened, about 5 minutes. Let cool.

  3. 3

    Combine ground beef, pork, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, and cooled vegetables. Mix gently.

  4. 4

    Add Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.

  5. 5

    Shape into a loaf and place in prepared pan. Brush top with ketchup.

  6. 6

    Bake for 55-65 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

  7. 7

    Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with mashed potatoes and gravy.

    💡 Resting is essential - cutting too early releases all the juices.
