Cooking meatloaf in a sheet pan cuts down the cooking time dramatically, making this a perfect weeknight dinner. Shaping it thin and flat ensures that you get enough sticky-sweet glaze in every bite.

Special equipment: an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan
Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 375ºF. Mix 1/2 cup of the ketchup, the breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, parsley, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce together in a large bowl and set aside until the breadcrumbs have absorbed the liquid, about 3 minutes.
Add the ground beef and pork, onion, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the bowl and mix until well combined (do not overmix).
Transfer the meat mixture to an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan and press it into an even layer covering the entire surface. Whisk the remaining 1 1/2 cups ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire, brown sugar, cider vinegar, and chipotle powder in a small bowl. Brush the meatloaf with the sauce.
Bake until the meat is cooked through, about 20 minutes, then turn on the broiler setting and broil until the top becomes caramelized and dark in spots, 3 to 4 minutes more, turning the pan periodically for even broiling. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
