Ingredients
  

For the Meatloaf
  • 1 pound Ground Beef can use lean ground turkey for a lighter option
  • 1 pound Ground Pork substitute with more ground beef or turkey if preferred
  • 1 cup Plain Breadcrumbs can replace with crushed saltines or rolled oats soaked in milk
  • 1 cup Whole Milk best results with whole milk, but non-dairy milk works in a pinch
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion sauté in butter for enhanced sweetness if desired
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic can substitute with garlic powder in a hurry
  • 2 Eggs for a vegan option, use flaxseed meal mixed with water
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce soy sauce can work as a substitute
  • 1/2 cup Ketchup choose homemade or reduced-sugar varieties for a healthier option
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme Italian seasoning can be used as an alternative
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt adjust to your taste preferences
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper adjust to your taste preferences
For the Glaze
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar brown sugar is a must for that sticky finish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all your ingredients on the kitchen counter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, soaked breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Transfer the meat mixture into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Press down firmly to shape the loaf.
  4. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes. Monitor the meatloaf to maintain consistent heat.
  5. While baking, prepare the glaze by combining Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, and apple cider vinegar in a saucepan. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
  6. After 45 minutes, drizzle two-thirds of the glaze over the meatloaf and return it to the oven for another 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  7. Once baked, let the meatloaf rest for 15 minutes. Slice and serve.
