Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or baking sheet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are combined.
Gradually add the unsweetened almond milk to the mixture. Combine until the mixture holds together but is not too wet.
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it in the prepared pan or on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the dairy-free gravy. In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add flour to the heated oil, and whisk continuously for about 1 minute to form a roux.
Slowly whisk in the beef broth and soy sauce, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Let the gravy simmer for about 5-7 minutes until thickened.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve slices of meatloaf topped with the warm dairy-free gravy. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
