Ingredients
- 2 lbs Ground beef
- 0.5 lbs Ground pork
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 medium, finely chopped Yellow onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 6 slices, large sandwich style Dill pickles
- 2 tablespoons Dill pickle brine
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh dill
- 1 cup, shredded (optional) Cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard-sized loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, dill pickle brine, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, paprika, and fresh dill.
Using your hands or a spatula, mix the meat mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Press half of the meat mixture evenly into the loaf pan to create the first layer.
Lay the slices of dill pickle over the meat, ensuring they cover the entire surface. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the pickles for a cheesy twist.
Add the remaining meat mixture, spreading it evenly to completely cover the pickle layer. Smooth the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup and Dijon mustard to create the glaze. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated 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 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice and serve warm, either as a main dish with your favorite sides or in sandwiches for a hearty meal.
