Chef's Note
For the juiciest meatloaf, avoid overmixing the meat mixture and don't pack it too tightly. The combination of beef and pork creates better flavor and texture than using just beef. For a lighter version, you can substitute ground turkey for the beef and pork. The meatloaf freezes well, so consider making a double batch and freezing one (uncooked) for a future meal. Let it thaw completely in the refrigerator before baking.

Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
1 medium onion
3 cloves garlic cloves
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 lb russet potatoes
4 tbsp butter
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp fresh parsley
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
- 2
Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
- 3
Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large pot, cover with cold water, add 1/2 tsp salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- 4
While potatoes are cooking, in a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, diced onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, 2 tbsp ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- 5
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape on the baking sheet or transfer to the loaf pan, pressing down gently.
- 6
In a small bowl, mix the remaining ketchup with brown sugar and dijon mustard. Spread this glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
- 7
Bake the meatloaf for 35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- 8
While the meatloaf is baking, drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and mash until smooth.
- 9
Warm the milk in the microwave for 30 seconds, then gradually add to the potatoes while mashing. Stir in the sour cream, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper.
- 10
Chop the fresh parsley and stir into the mashed potatoes, reserving some for garnish.
- 11
Once the meatloaf is done, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- 12
Serve slices of meatloaf with a generous portion of garlic mashed potatoes on the side, garnished with remaining parsley.
