Three Meat Meatloaf
Bacon, Beef and Pork combine to create the most flavorful, delicious, and moist meatloaf ever.
Ingredients
Meatloaf:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 stalks celery diced
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1½ lbs ground beef (or elk)
- 3 slices thick cut bacon diced
- 1 egg beaten
- 1/4 C parsley chopped
- 1 tsp Worcestershire
- 1/4 c grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 C panko breadcrumbs
For the Glaze:
- 1/4 C tomato paste
- 4 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground mustard seed
- 2 tsp Worcestershire
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a small rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil. (You can use a 9"x13" pyrex too).
- Heat a medium fry pan over medium heat. Add in 1 tbsp olive oil. When the oil is warm and shimmering add in the celery and onion. Cook for about five minutes until it just begins to soften. Then add in the garlic cloves. Saute for an additional minute. Pull the pan off the heat to cool.
- In a large bowl add in the pork, beef, and bacon. Then add in the egg, parsley, worcestershire, grated parmesan, kosher salt, black pepper, and panko breadbrumbs. Then add in the cooled onion mixture.
- Using your hands mix these ingredients together well. Then pile them onto the sheet pan lined with aluminum foil and shape into a log. Mine is usually about 6 inches wide by 10 inches long, there is no need to be precise, just make it look even.
- Set the log aside and whisk together all the glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Using a brush, brush the glaze evenly onto the entire meatloaf. Make sure to use all of the glaze.
- Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for about an hour. You want the internal temperature to be at 145 degrees. An instant read thermometer works wonders for that. Pull it out of the oven and allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing to serve.
