# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, gently combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, eggs, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme until just incorporated.
03 - Form mixture into a loaf on the prepared baking sheet or press into the loaf pan.
04 - In a separate small bowl, combine ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Mix thoroughly and spread half of the glaze over the shaped meatloaf.
05 - Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for 40 minutes.
06 - Remove meatloaf from the oven, pour remaining glaze over the top, and return to bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 160°F is reached.
07 - While the meatloaf bakes, place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon salt, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until very tender, about 18 to 20 minutes.
08 - Drain potatoes thoroughly and return to the pot. Add warmed milk, butter, sour cream, remaining salt, and black pepper. Mash to a smooth, creamy consistency.
09 - Allow meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes after baking before slicing. Plate with mashed potatoes and serve immediately.
