by

If you’re looking for a classic, comforting, no-fail meatloaf that’s packed with flavor and stays super juicy, this one is it. Inspired by Snoop Dogg’s laid-back cooking style, this meatloaf is simple, hearty, and perfect for family dinners. No fancy steps — just real, good food.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • ½ lb ground pork (optional, but highly recommended for extra juiciness)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup ketchup (plus more for topping)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning

Optional Add-Ins (but so good!)

  • 1–2 tbsp BBQ sauce (for extra depth)
  • A pinch of chili flakes (if you like mild heat)

⁠

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef and ground pork.
  3. Add breadcrumbs, grated cheddar cheese, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together:
  • Eggs
  • Milk
  • Ketchup
  • Worcestershire sauce
  1. Pour the wet mixture into the meat bowl.
  2. Add all seasonings: salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme.
  3. Gently mix everything together using your hands or a spoon.

Don’t overmix — this keeps the meatloaf tender and juicy.

  1. Transfer the mixture into the loaf pan and gently shape it.
  2. Spread a generous layer of ketchup (or ketchup + BBQ sauce) on top.
  3. Bake uncovered for 60–70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  4. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing — this helps it hold together perfectly.

Cooking Tips

  • Using pork adds moisture and richness — highly recommended
  • Cheddar melts inside for extra flavor
  • Resting the meatloaf = cleaner slices
  • Leftovers taste even better the next day!
