How to Make Another Meatloaf Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
  3. Stir in 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon dried sage, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  4. Add 1.5 lbs ground beef and 1 lb sweet or spicy Italian sausage (or ground pork). Gently mix with your hands until just combined.
  5. Transfer the meatloaf mixture to a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  7. While the meatloaf bakes, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
  8. Remove the meatloaf from the oven, drain off any excess grease. Spread the glaze evenly over the top.
  9. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup diced pepperoni over the glaze.
  10. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
