In a large bowl, add lean ground beef and pork. Now, introduce onions, bread crumbs, egg, ketchup, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix all the ingredients well.
Prepare the loaf pan by spraying it with cooking spray. Put the mixture into a loaf pan and spread evenly. In case you’re wondering, the recommended pan size is 5×9″. For those without a loaf pan or those who don’t want to use one. There’s no reason to worry. Likewise, we will take care of your needs as well. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Create a loaf-like shape from the meatloaf mixture. That’s all. It’s that simple.
Now it is time for my favorite part- the sauce. Whisk cider vinegar, light brown sugar, and ketchup. Whisk, whisk until all the ingredients have fully combined. Pour this in the loaf pan over the loaf.
Time to send the pan into the oven! Bake the meatloaf uncovered at 350 degrees for about an hour. Now, check with a meat thermometer poked right into the center of the meatloaf. It should read about 150 degrees F. If it does, you are good to go.
Let it sit for ten minutes before you begin slicing. Eh, hardest ten minutes ever. Isn’t it? Plate it and enjoy your very delicious home-cooked meatloaf.
