# Method:
01 - Set the oven to 350°F. Prepare a loaf pan by greasing it lightly or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, mix ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and thyme until just combined without overmixing.
03 - Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it into the prepared loaf pan or onto the baking sheet.
04 - In a small bowl, combine ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Spread half the glaze evenly over the meatloaf.
05 - Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
06 - Remove the meatloaf from the oven, spread the remaining glaze over the top, then return it to bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
07 - Place peeled and chunked potatoes in a large pot with cold water and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are tender, approximately 18 to 20 minutes.
08 - Drain potatoes thoroughly. Return to pot and add warmed milk, butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Mash until creamy and smooth.
09 - Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the mashed potatoes.
