Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, diced onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, 1/4 cup of ketchup, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce to create the glaze.
Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove it from the oven and spread the remaining glaze on top.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
