Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper, allowing 2 inches of overhang on each of the long sides.
In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the applesauce, Worcestershire sauce, onion, kosher and garlic salts, black and white peppers, sugar and mustard; stir to form a paste. Add the pork and beef and, using your hands, gently mix until well blended. Scrape the meatloaf mixture into the prepared pan and press the mixture down slightly to remove any air pockets.
Bake until the meatloaf is lightly browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165°, about 1 hour. Cool the meat loaf on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove the meatloaf from the pan, cut into thick slices, and serve with mashed potatoes and gravy.
