1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp smoked paprika ️
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Glaze:

2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
For the Roasted Carrots:
1 lb carrots, sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp honey
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Meatloaf:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a greased or parchment-lined baking dish.
Make the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar.
Spread half of the glaze over the top of the meatloaf. Reserve the other half for later.
Roast the Carrots:
Toss the carrot slices with olive oil, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake:
Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
Add the carrots to the oven alongside the meatloaf for the final 25 minutes of baking.
Brush the remaining glaze over the meatloaf during the last 10 minutes of baking.
Serve:
Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the roasted carrots and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
