Ingredients
Scale
For the meatloaf:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 cup Ritz crackers, crushed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/3 cup yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
For the glaze:
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or foil and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a large bowl combine ground beef, ground pork, crushed crackers, eggs, milk, 1/2 cup ketchup, and spices. Knead together with your hands to mix until just combined.
- Press the meat mixture into the prepared pan and use a rubber spatula to press it in evenly.
- Bake uncovered for 45 minutes.
- As you approach the 45 minute mark, mix together glaze ingredients in a small bowl.
- Remove the meatloaf from the oven and carefully drain any grease if necessary. (A turkey baster is good for this.)
- Spoon half the glaze over the meatloaf, being sure not to touch the spoon to the half-cooked meatloaf so you don't cross contaminate the glaze.
- Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake an additional 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let meatloaf sit 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with remaining glaze for dipping.
