Homestyle Meatloaf

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 green onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced green bell pepper
2 tablespoons grated carrot
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1-1/2 pounds ground chuck
3/4 pound ground pork
1 cup bread crumbs (such as Progresso)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup ketchup plus an additional 1/4 cup ketchup (for top)

Preheat oven to 350F. Saute green onion, garlic, green pepper, and carrot in
vegetable oil over medium heat for a couple minutes. Combine beaten eggs
with milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a medium
bowl. Mix bread crumbs and flour into ground chuck and ground pork with your
hands. Add egg and milk mixture, sauteed veggies, 1/4 cup ketchup and mix it
up using your hands. Press the mixture into a meat loaf pan (the kind of pan
with drainage holes in the bottom) or a large loaf pan. Bake for 30 minutes,
then spread 1/4 cup of ketchup over the top of the meatloaf and bake for
another hour. Remove from oven and allow it to sit for awhile before slicing
and serving.
