Whether you're craving a nostalgic classic or looking to impress guests, this meatloaf delivers both taste and tradition in every slice.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, diced onion, green bell pepper, breadcrumbs, milk, and eggs.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 cup of ketchup to the bowl.
Using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix the ingredients until well combined, but avoid overworking the mixture to prevent a dense meatloaf.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to create an even surface.
In a small bowl, prepare the glaze by combining 1/2 cup of ketchup, brown sugar, and yellow mustard. Mix well.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf with a spoon or spatula.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Once baked, allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes in the pan to retain its juices before slicing and serving.
Serve warm, ideally with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
