In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Use your hands or a spoon to mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Form the mixture into a loaf shape that will fit comfortably into your skillet (about 8 inches long and 3-4 inches wide).
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the meatloaf in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving it, allowing the bottom to develop a golden-brown crust.
Use a spatula to carefully flip the meatloaf onto its other side and brown it for another 4-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low, and cover the skillet with a lid to allow the meatloaf to cook through. Cook for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (70°C).
If using a glaze, spread BBQ sauce or ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Carefully remove the meatloaf from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or green beans.
