Description
A unique twist on a classic comfort food, combining savory flavors of caramelized onions and French onion soup with hearty meats.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 1/2 lb ground pork
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 packet French onion soup mix
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for about 10-12 minutes until caramelized. Add garlic in the last minute of cooking, then remove from heat and let 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. Add the cooled onion and garlic mixture and mix well.
- Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- While baking, whisk together ketchup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. After 40 minutes, spread the glaze over the meatloaf and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes until the glaze is set.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with sides like mashed potatoes or green beans.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or parsley to the meat mixture.
