Prepare to redefine comfort food with the irresistible "Omg Meatloaf," a juicy, flavor-packed classic that truly lives up to its name. Perfectly seasoned with a blend of ground beef and pork, this meatloaf is infused with aromatic minced garlic, finely diced onion, and a hint of smoked paprika for a smoky depth of flavor. The secret to its tender texture lies in soaking breadcrumbs in milk, creating a melt-in-your-mouth experience in every bite. Topped with a tangy-sweet glaze made of ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar, this crowd-pleaser caramelizes beautifully in the oven for the perfect finishing touch. Ready in just under 90 minutes, it’s easy to prepare and pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad. This show-stopping "Omg Meatloaf" will have everyone coming back for seconds—and praising the cook!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or use a loaf pan, and lightly grease it with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let the mixture soak for 5 minutes until the breadcrumbs have absorbed the liquid.
Add the ground beef, ground pork, diced onion, minced garlic, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and chopped parsley (if using) to the bowl. Mix everything gently with your hands until just combined—avoid overmixing to ensure a tender meatloaf.
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf shape (approximately 9 inches long and 4 inches wide) directly on the prepared baking sheet or press it into a loaf pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze. Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top and sides of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the meatloaf and spread the remaining glaze on top.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Once cooked, let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy the 'Omg' reaction from everyone at the table!
