How to Make 50's Prime Time Cafe Mom's Meatloaf

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Mix well but avoid overmixing, as this can result in a tough meatloaf.
  4. Shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  5. Spread the remaining ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  6. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  7. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
