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
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh dill
• 1 cup, shredded (optional) Cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard-sized loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Using your hands or a spatula, mix the meat mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 4

Press half of the meat mixture evenly into the loaf pan to create the first layer.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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).

Step 9

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

Step 10

Slice and serve warm, either as a main dish with your favorite sides or in sandwiches for a hearty meal.
