Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 lean)
• 0.5 pound Ground pork
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup BBQ sauce or extra ketchup (optional, for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Use your hands or a spoon to mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 3

Form the mixture into a loaf shape that will fit comfortably into your skillet (about 8 inches long and 3-4 inches wide).

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Carefully place the meatloaf in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving it, allowing the bottom to develop a golden-brown crust.

Step 6

Use a spatula to carefully flip the meatloaf onto its other side and brown it for another 4-5 minutes.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, and cover the skillet with a lid to allow the meatloaf to cook through. Cook for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (70°C).

Step 8

If using a glaze, spread BBQ sauce or ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Step 9

Carefully remove the meatloaf from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or green beans.
