Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Sauté diced yellow onion and minced garlic in a skillet over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Add ground beef, ground pork, and cooled onion-garlic mixture to the bowl and gently mix until combined.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the loaf pan, pressing down to eliminate air pockets and smoothing the top.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, honey, grape jelly, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
  7. Spread one-third of the glaze over the top of the meatloaf.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes, then remove and spread another one-third of the glaze over the top.
  9. Return to the oven and continue baking for an additional 25 to 30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  10. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and enjoy with remaining glaze.
