Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef
• 0.5 pounds Ground pork
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 whole Large egg
• 1 small, finely chopped Yellow onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 spears Dill pickles
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a standard loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined but do not overwork the mixture.

Step 3

On a clean sheet of parchment paper or wax paper, spread the meat mixture into a rectangle about 12x8 inches.

Step 4

Arrange the pickle spears in a single line along one of the shorter edges of the rectangle, leaving about 1 inch of space from the edge.

Step 5

Carefully roll the meat mixture over the pickles, using the parchment paper to help guide you. Pinch the seams and ends together to seal the meatloaf roll.

Step 6

Transfer the meatloaf to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan, seam side down.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to create the glaze. Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 8

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Remove it from the oven, spread the remaining glaze over the top, and return it to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Step 9

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
