# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
02 - In a large bowl, gently mix ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, eggs, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and thyme until just combined.
03 - Shape the mixture into a loaf on the prepared baking sheet or press into the loaf pan.
04 - In a small bowl, combine ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Spread half of the glaze over the meatloaf.
05 - Bake for 40 minutes, then remove from oven and spread remaining glaze evenly over the top.
06 - Return meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
07 - Place peeled and chunked potatoes in a large pot with cold water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 18 to 20 minutes.
08 - Drain potatoes and return to pot. Add warmed milk, butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
09 - Allow meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm alongside mashed potatoes.
