Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • baking sheet or loaf pan
  • parchement paper or foil
  • skillet
  • garlic press
  • uring cups and spoons
  • Basting brush
  • meat thermomether

Ingredients
 
 

For the meatloaf

  • 2 lbs ground corned beef
  • 2 lbs ground pork
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup milk or beef broth
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup finely diced leeks
  • ¾ cup sauerkraut
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

For the glaze

  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Heat a small pan over medium heat with olive oil. Cook the finely diced leeks for about 5 minutes, until soft and slightly golden. Let them cool slightly.
  • In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and milk (or broth) and let sit for 5 minutes to absorb.
  • In a large bowl, combine ground corned beef, ground pork, lightly beaten eggs, sautéed leeks, drained sauerkraut, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings.
  • Add the soaked breadcrumbs and gently mix everything until just combined. Don’t overmix, or the meatloaf may become dense.
  • Shape into a beef loaf and place on a baking sheet or use a loaf pan.
  • Brush the top of the meatloaf with the glaze and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 60-75 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
  • Rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve!

Notes

Soften the breadcrumbs - soaking the breadcrumbs in milk or broth before mixing them in prevents a dry, crumbly loaf.
Drain the sauerkraut - too much moisture can make the loaf fall apart.
Don’t overmix the meat - mix everything just until combined.
