Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, parsley, salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme. Mix until well combined.
  3. Transfer the meat mixture to a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf.
  4. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Notes

  • For a healthier twist, substitute ground turkey for the beef and pork.
