Moist And Flavorful Meatloaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs ground chuck
1 lb ground pork
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 bell pepper, diced
1 egg, beaten
1 cup fresh breadcrumb
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce (Bullseye Guinness BBQ, yum!!)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon creole seasoning (like Tony Chachere's)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
1 teaspoon fresh sage, minced
1 cup whole milk
Topping ingredients
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Saute onion, bell pepper and garlic in a little oil over medium heat until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Put all ingredients except milk in a large bowl.
Stir to combine with one hand while you add milk with the other* until all ingredients are uniformly mixed. Do not squish the ingredients together, this may make the meatloaf tough and dense.
Form into a loaf placed in baking dish. Stir together topping ingredients and brush on meatloaf.
Bake 1 hours and 15 minute at 350 degrees.
Let rest 3-5 minutes before slicing.
*not sure if this is totally necessary, it's just what I did and I liked my texture, if it is too difficult just add all ingredients at once.
