Meatloaf is my ultimate comfort food. I know, that sounds a little weird. But this dish is a way for me to destress during hard days. And I always try to explore different recipes so that I don't get tired of what my family eats. But today, I'll share this very simple and easy meatloaf with pork and beef recipe that's perfect if you're looking for a new way to make this dish.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (minced beef) - lean
1 pound ground pork (minced pork) - lean
½ cup yellow onion - chopped
1 egg - beaten
2 cups breadcrumbs
½ cup celery - chopped
3 cloves garlic - chopped
3 tablespoons parsley - chopped
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon thyme
½ teaspoon sage
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to start preheating it for baking.
- Get a medium to a large mixing bowl and mix the beef and the pork in the bowl.
- Using a large knife, slice one small onion or about half of a large onion. After slicing the onion, chop the rings into small pieces about ¼ to ½ inches long. When the onion is chopped, measure ½ cup and put it in the bowl with the meat.
- Break an egg into a small bowl and gently beat it with a wire whisk (or a fork) until the yolk and white blend together. Pour the egg into the bowl with the meat.
- Measure out 2 cups of bread and put them in the bowl with the meat.
- Chop enough celery until you get about ½ cup, and put it in the bowl with the meat.
- Time to give it some flavour. Chop 3 cloves of garlic and put them in the bowl. You can press the garlic instead of chopping it if you have a garlic press. The flavour is the same, but pressing is easier for some people.
- Chop enough fresh parsley leaves to fill 3n tablespoons. Do not use the stalks.
- Measure out 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of pepper, ½ teaspoon of thyme and ½ teaspoon of sage. Put them all in the mixing bowl with the other ingredients.
- Now the fun part – use your hands to blend all the ingredients together to form a loaf. It should stick together well and look like a small loaf of bread. If it is not sticking together, add more bread crumbs, but go sparingly, as too many bread crumbs will make it dry. Place the loaf into a loaf pan (these pans are sometimes used for making bread).
- Place in oven and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 ½ hour.
- When it is cooked, remove it from the oven and set it for about 5 minutes, then drain any excess juice from the pan before removing the meatloaf.
