Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup (122.5 g) whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup (54 g) fine dry breadcrumbs, plain
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- ½ cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 ½ cups bacon jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a large loaf pan (6 ½ x 10 inches) with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the milk, Worcestershire sauce, breadcrumbs, garlic, and onion.
- Add the milk mixture to the meat mixture. Mix gently by hand or with a spatula until fully incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf about 8–9 inches long and 4–5 inches wide, making sure it's evenly shaped for even cooking.
- Place the meatloaf in the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 40 minutes.
- After 40 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread bacon jam evenly over the top.
- Return the meatloaf to the oven and continue baking for 15-20 more minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
