Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds ground beef

1 1/2 pounds ground pork

3/4 cup grated carrots

1/2 cup chopped shallots

1/2 cup grated pecorino cheese

2 cups (1/2-inch-diced) bread cubes, such as crusty sourdough

2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

2 large eggs

1/2 cup whole milk

2 teaspoons kosher salt

6 to 8 twists of a pepper grinder

For the glaze:

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

3/4 cup ketchup

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, add all meatloaf ingredients and mix with your hands until combined. Do NOT overmix it! Divide the mixture between two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans and set aside.
  3. For the glaze, in a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, ketchup, and mustard. Brush the top of each meatloaf with a thick coat of the glaze. Transfer to the oven and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle registers 150 degrees F, about 45 minutes.
  4. Let the meatloaves rest for 10 to 15 minutes, unmold, cut into slices, and serve.

This was the best meat loaf I've ever made. Followed recipe exactly. Except I only had a pound each of beef and pork so I added a pound of ground venison.
