# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
02 - In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, eggs, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
03 - Form the mixture into a loaf shape on the prepared baking sheet or press into the loaf pan.
04 - In a small bowl, mix ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Spread half of the glaze evenly over the meatloaf.
05 - Bake for 40 minutes. Remove from oven, spread remaining glaze on top, then bake an additional 20–25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
06 - Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, add 1 tsp salt, bring to a boil, then simmer for 18–20 minutes until tender.
07 - Drain potatoes and return to pot. Add warm milk, butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
08 - Allow meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve alongside mashed potatoes.
