Ingredients:

- 1 tsp rosemary
- 1 tsp thyme
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking dish or loaf pan by greasing lightly or lining with parchment paper for easy cleanup. -
Mix Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, eggs, salt, pepper, sage, rosemary, and thyme. Use your hands or a spatula to thoroughly mix the ingredients until well combined. -
Form Loaf:
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it in the prepared baking dish or loaf pan. Ensure the loaf is compact and evenly shaped to promote even cooking. -
Bake First Half:
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes. This initial high temperature helps to sear the exterior and lock in juices. -
Reduce Temperature:
After the first 30 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 225°F (107°C). This lower temperature allows the meatloaf to cook gently and evenly without drying out. -
Continue Baking:
Continue baking the meatloaf at 225°F (107°C) for another 1 1/2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) on a meat thermometer. -
Rest and Serve:
Once cooked through, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful result. Serve slices of this Wonderful Meatloaf alongside your favorite sides and enjoy!
