Instructions
Step 1
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Step 2
2. In a small bowl, soak the breadcrumbs in milk for 5 minutes until softened and absorbed.
Step 3
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, soaked breadcrumb mixture, eggs, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
4. Using clean hands, gently mix all ingredients until just combined - avoid overmixing to prevent a tough meatloaf.
Step 5
5. Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking sheet or loaf pan and shape into a loaf approximately 8x4 inches if using a baking sheet.
Step 6
6. If using the marinara glaze, spread it evenly over the top of the meatloaf. If using garlic butter, melt it and brush over the surface.
Step 7
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.
Step 8
8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
