Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef
• 0.5 pounds Ground pork
• 1 cup Lactose-free shredded cheddar-style cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan with the vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, and lactose-free shredded cheddar-style cheese.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, breadcrumbs, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture into the meat and cheese mixture. Use clean hands or a sturdy spatula to mix everything together until evenly combined. Do not overmix to prevent a dense texture.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down lightly to shape it evenly.

Step 6

Place the loaf pan on the center rack of the oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 7

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp side salad.
