Instructions
Preparation
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring frequently, for about 10-12 minutes until caramelized. Add garlic in the last minute and remove from heat to cool.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, French onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix in the cooled onions and garlic until fully combined.
- Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan, shape it into a loaf, and bake for 50-60 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Whisk together the glaze ingredients in a small bowl. After baking for 40 minutes, spread the glaze over the meatloaf and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with sides like mashed potatoes or green beans.
Notes
For a more robust onion flavor, add ¼ cup of finely chopped French onion soup or use caramelized shallots. Allow the meatloaf to rest before slicing to keep it moist.
