Good Old Diner Meatloaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 lbs ground chuck
    1/2 lb ground pork
    3/4 cup beef broth (you can use milk)
    1 cup yellow onion, chopped
    1/2 cup breadcrumbs (I use seasoned)
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 -2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    1 egg, slightly beaten
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 cup ketchup
    1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
    In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, beef broth, onion, 1-2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano.
    Don't overmix, but combine it well (hands work the best).
    Transfer meat to a shallow baking pan and shape into a loaf about 5 inches wide.
    Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
    While meatloaf is baking, combine ketchup, brown sugar and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan.
    Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Pour or spoon over the meatloaf (after the 1 hour, 15 minute baking time). Bake for about 15 more minutes, until temperature reaches 160 degrees in the center of the meatloaf.
    Let meatloaf rest 5-10 minutes in baking pan, then remove to a serving platter.
    The drippings from the pan are obscene over mashed potatoes.
    I've made this with all the beef/pork combo, all beef and even buffalo and beef combined. It's always outrageous (we think). Also,it is better with the beef broth, rather than the milk.
