• 0.5 lb Ground pork
• 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup Ketchup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, diced onion, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients evenly but avoid over-mixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 3

Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and press it down gently to level it.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the additional ketchup and brown sugar to make the glaze. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 5

Bake the meatloaf uncovered in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 6

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 7

Cut 8 medium-thick slices of the bread and lightly toast them if desired.

Step 8

Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.

Step 9

Place a slice of meatloaf on 4 slices of the bread, followed by a lettuce leaf and a slice or two of tomato.

Step 10

Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side down.

Step 11

Cut the sandwiches in half and serve warm or at room temperature.
