INGREDIENTS
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
- 1 pound ground beef (15 to 20 percent fat content)
- 8 ounces uncooked sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 medium yellow onion, grated on the large holes of a box grater (about 3/4 cup), excess liquid discarded
- 1 slice sourdough or white bread, torn into rough 1/4-inch pieces (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 1/4 cup dill pickle relish
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set it aside.
- Whisk 1/4 cup of the ketchup, 2 teaspoons of the Worcestershire, and 1 teaspoon of the Tabasco in a small bowl until smooth; set aside.
- Whisk the remaining 1/2 cup of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire, and 2 teaspoons of Tabasco in a large bowl until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients. Using clean hands, mix until everything’s just combined (don’t squeeze or overwork the mixture).
- Transfer the mixture to the center of the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands, form it into a 7-by-4-inch loaf. Bake until the meatloaf is just starting to brown, about 35 minutes.
- Evenly spread all of the reserved ketchup mixture over the top and sides of the meatloaf. Continue baking until the glaze darkens slightly and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F, about 20 to 25 minutes more. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the meatloaf cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
