Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a bowl, combine 1.5 lb of ground beef and 0.5 lb of ground pork.

Add 0.25 cup of milk, 1 cup of breadcrumbs, and 2 eggs to the meat.

Season with 1 tablespoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of pepper, 0.5 teaspoon of thyme, and 2 tablespoons of parsley.

Mix the ingredients together using your hands until well combined.

Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it on a lined sheet pan.

In a separate bowl, prepare the glaze by mixing 0.5 cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of dried mustard until smooth.

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf, allowing it to drip over the sides.

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes.

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow it to rest before slicing.
