    This collection brings together 14 recipes that mix beef and pork to add flavor and keep the texture moist.

    You will find simple variations that fit weeknight schedules and use common ingredients.

    Some recipes include ways to adjust for different tastes or pantry items.

    Each one focuses on practical steps to get a good result without extra fuss.

    Helpful Tips Before You Start

    These tips will help you get juicy results with beef and pork meatloaf recipes.

    Use Equal Parts Beef and Pork

    A 50-50 mix of ground beef and pork adds flavor and keeps the loaf moist. Pork brings extra fat that beef alone often lacks.

    Soak Bread in Milk First

    Mix breadcrumbs with milk or broth and let them sit for five minutes. This panade binds the meat without drying it out during baking.

    Mix Gently by Hand

    Combine ingredients just until they hold together. Overmixing packs the proteins tight and leads to a dense texture.

    Check Temperature at 160 Degrees

    Pull the meatloaf from the oven when the center hits 160 degrees. It will rise a few degrees while resting and stay juicy.

    Let It Rest Before Slicing

    Wait 10 minutes after baking so the juices settle. Cutting too soon lets moisture run out onto the plate.

    Bacon-Wrapped Beef and Pork Meatloaf with Roasted Root Vegetables

    This bacon-wrapped meatloaf blends ground beef and pork into a moist base that stays juicy during baking. The bacon layer adds a crisp, smoky finish while the root vegetables roast alongside to bring natural sweetness and hearty texture to the plate. It suits cool evenings when a single pan can handle both the protein and the sides.

    The dish works well for family dinners because it needs little hands-on time after assembly. The flavors stay balanced with savory meat, salty bacon, and caramelized vegetables that need only basic seasoning.

    Ingredienser
      

    • 1 pound ground beef
    • 1 pound ground pork
    • 8 slices bacon
    • 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 small onion, finely chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 3 carrots, cut into 2-inch chunks
    • 2 parsnips, cut into 2-inch chunks
    • 2 medium potatoes, cut into 2-inch chunks
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

    fremgangsmåte
     

    • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix with clean hands until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
    • Shape the mixture into a loaf about 9 inches long and place it in the center of the baking sheet.
    • Lay the bacon slices over the top and sides of the loaf, tucking the ends underneath so the bacon stays in place.
    • In the same bowl, toss the carrots, parsnips, and potatoes with the olive oil, rosemary, and a pinch of salt and pepper until the vegetables are coated.
    • Spread the vegetables around the meatloaf on the baking sheet in a single layer.
    • Bake for 55 to 65 minutes until the meatloaf reaches 160 degrees F internally and the bacon is browned. Let the loaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

    merknader

    Arrange the vegetables in a single layer so they brown instead of steaming. If the bacon browns too quickly, loosely cover the loaf with foil for the last 15 minutes. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for three days and reheat best in a 350-degree oven to restore some crispness to the bacon.

    Italian Sausage-Stuffed Beef and Pork Meatloaf with Creamy Polenta

    Ingredienser
      

    • 1/2 lb ground beef
    • 1/2 lb ground pork
    • 8 oz Italian sausage links
    • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
    • 1 egg
    • 1/4 cup milk
    • 1 small onion, diced
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 1 cup cornmeal
    • 4 cups chicken broth
    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
    • 2 tbsp butter
    • 1/4 cup heavy cream
    • Fresh parsley for garnish

    fremgangsmåte
     

    • Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, diced onion, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
    • Place half the meat mixture in a loaf pan and press it flat. Lay the Italian sausage links in a single row down the center. Cover with the remaining meat mixture and seal the edges.
    • Bake the meatloaf for 50 to 55 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
    • While the meatloaf bakes, bring the chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Slowly whisk in the cornmeal. Reduce heat and cook, stirring often, for 15 minutes until thick.
    • Remove the polenta from heat. Stir in the Parmesan, butter, and heavy cream until smooth. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
    • Slice the meatloaf and serve portions over scoops of polenta. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.

    merknader

    Slice the sausage links in half lengthwise before placing them in the meatloaf if you want them to cook faster and release more flavor into the surrounding meat. Stir the polenta steadily near the end of cooking to avoid lumps, and add a splash more broth if it thickens too much before serving.

    Smoky BBQ Beef and Pork Meatloaf Sliders with Coleslaw

    The recipe keeps things simple by forming the meat mixture into small loaves that fit slider buns. Everything comes together in one baking session, so cleanup stays minimal.

    • 1/2 pound ground beef
    • 1/2 pound ground pork
    • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
    • 1 large egg
    • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
    • 2 tablespoons smoky BBQ sauce, plus 1/4 cup for glazing
    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • 8 slider buns
    • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
    • 1 medium carrot, shredded
    • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
    • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon sugar

    fremgangsmåte
     

    • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
    • Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a small oval loaf about 3 inches long. Place the loaves on the prepared baking sheet.
    • Brush the tops of the meatloaf sliders with 2 tablespoons of the remaining BBQ sauce. Bake for 20 minutes.
    • Remove the baking sheet, brush with the final 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce, and return to the oven for 10 more minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
    • While the meatloaves bake, make the coleslaw. In a medium bowl, stir together the shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar until well coated. Set aside.
    • Split the slider buns and place one meatloaf slider on each bottom half. Add a spoonful of coleslaw, then close with the top bun.

    merknader

    Form the meatloaves a bit smaller than the buns so the coleslaw has room to sit on top without sliding off. If the coleslaw sits too long it softens, so mix it right before serving or keep it separate until assembly. Leftovers reheat well in a 350-degree oven for 8 minutes with a fresh dab of BBQ sauce brushed on top.

    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

    fremgangsmåte
     

    • Mix the ground beef, ground pork, onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until evenly combined. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a loaf pan.
    • Bake the meatloaf at 375 degrees for 45 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees. Remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing into 8 thin pieces.
    • Warm the refried beans in a skillet over medium heat, stirring until smooth. Heat the corn tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
    • Spread a spoonful of refried beans down the center of each tortilla. Add one slice of meatloaf on top of the beans. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam side down in a baking dish.
    • Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes until the cheese melts and the edges bubble. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

    merknader

    Slice the meatloaf while it is still slightly warm so the pieces stay intact when rolled. If the refried beans seem thick after warming, stir in a splash of water to make them easier to spread. Leftovers reheat well in the oven at 350 degrees with a little extra sauce to keep the tortillas from drying out.

    • 1 lb ground beef
    • 0.5 lb ground pork
    • 1 cup breadcrumbs
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 small onion, finely chopped
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tsp dried oregano
    • 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese

    • 8 oz orzo pasta

    • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
    • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
    • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

    fremgangsmåte
     

    • Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a loaf pan. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, 2 cloves of minced garlic, oregano, half the feta, 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then press the mixture into the prepared pan.
    • Bake the meatloaf for 50 to 55 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. While it bakes, stir together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, remaining clove of minced garlic, dill, and remaining 0.5 teaspoon salt to make the tzatziki. Set it aside in the refrigerator.
    • Cook the orzo in boiling water according to package directions, then drain and rinse under cold water. Toss the orzo with olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, cherry tomatoes, parsley, and the remaining feta. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve slices with a spoonful of tzatziki and a portion of the orzo salad on the side.

    merknader

    Mix the meatloaf ingredients lightly to keep the texture tender rather than dense. Grate and drain the cucumber well before adding it to the tzatziki so the sauce stays thick. The orzo salad can be made a few hours ahead and chilled, which helps the flavors meld before serving.

    • In the same mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated. Spread the wedges in a single layer around the meatloaf on the baking sheet.
    • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F and the potato wedges turn golden and crisp.
    • Remove the pan from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the potatoes and meatloaf before slicing and serving.

    Cube the cheddar a little larger than bite size so it melts into pockets instead of leaking out during baking. Keep the potato wedges in one even layer with space between them so they crisp properly instead of steaming. Leftovers hold up best when reheated in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to restore some crunch to the potatoes.

    Chop the mushrooms very fine so they blend smoothly into the meat mixture and release moisture during baking. If you want a slightly different flavor, swap half the thyme for rosemary.

    • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, half the diced onion, half the diced bell pepper, and the minced garlic. Mix until evenly blended but do not overwork the meat. Shape into a loaf and place in a loaf pan. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
    • While the meatloaf bakes, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining onion and bell pepper and cook until softened. Stir in the corn kernels, chopped tomato, remaining tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream and simmer gently for another 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the sliced green onions just before serving.
    • Slice the meatloaf and serve portions with a generous scoop of the warm corn maque choux alongside.

    merknader

    Use fresh or frozen corn straight from the bag for the maque choux. If the mixture seems too thick after adding cream, a splash of milk loosens it without changing the flavor. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet over low heat so the corn stays creamy.

    Swedish-Style Beef and Pork Meatloaf with Lingonberry Sauce and Buttered Egg Noodles

    This Swedish-style meatloaf blends ground beef and pork with warm spices for a tender, savory loaf that feels both familiar and special.

    • 8 ounces ground beef
    • 8 ounces ground pork
    • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 small onion, finely diced
    • 1/4 cup whole milk
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1/2 cup lingonberry jam
    • 8 ounces egg noodles
    • 3 tablespoons butter
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

    fremgangsmåte
     

    • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, milk, salt, allspice, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just blended.
    • Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
    • While the meatloaf bakes, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until tender. Drain and return them to the pot.
    • Add 2 tablespoons of the butter to the drained noodles and toss until evenly coated. Cover to keep warm.
    • Place the lingonberry jam in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and warm until the jam loosens into a sauce, about 3 minutes.
    • Slice the meatloaf and serve portions over the buttered noodles. Spoon lingonberry sauce on top and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

    merknader

    Warm the lingonberry jam just until it thins so it pours easily without losing its fruit pieces. If the meatloaf mixture feels too wet, add an extra tablespoon of breadcrumbs before shaping. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet with a splash of water to keep the noodles from drying out.

    Chop the spinach finely so it blends evenly through the meatloaf without creating wet spots. If the feta seems very salty, reduce the added salt in the meat mixture. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet over low heat to keep the vegetables from drying out.

    Use day-old rice for the fried rice so it stays separate and gets better texture in the pan. Brush a little extra teriyaki sauce over the meatloaf in the last 10 minutes of baking if you want a shinier finish. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet with a splash of water to keep the rice moist.

    • Heat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl combine the ground beef, ground pork, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, egg, onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix until evenly blended.

    • While the meatloaf bakes, place the new potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook 12 to 15 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
    • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining 2 minced garlic cloves and cook 30 seconds. Add the green beans and cook 4 minutes, then stir in the drained potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and cook 3 more minutes until the beans are crisp-tender.

    Let the meatloaf rest 5 minutes before slicing so the juices stay inside. If the herb crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover the loaf with foil for the last 15 minutes of baking. Leftovers reheat well in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes, which keeps the crust from turning soggy.

Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes, then return them to the pot. Add the butter and milk, then mash until smooth.
    • In a separate bowl, stir together the black beans, corn, diced tomato, diced red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with a pinch of salt if needed. Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes after baking, then slice and serve with the sweet potato mash and black bean salad on the side.

    merknader

    The chipotle amount can be reduced if you prefer less heat. The black bean salad can be mixed a few hours ahead and kept in the fridge so the flavors have time to blend. Leftovers reheat well in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes to keep the meatloaf from drying out.
