Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan with the vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, and lactose-free shredded cheddar-style cheese.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, breadcrumbs, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the meat and cheese mixture. Use clean hands or a sturdy spatula to mix everything together until evenly combined. Do not overmix to prevent a dense texture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down lightly to shape it evenly.
Place the loaf pan on the center rack of the oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp side salad.
