Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350°F.
- Line a 5 x 9.5 inch loaf pan (or similar) with parchment paper and grease it well with cooking oil. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the ground pork, ground beef, egg, grated Irish cheddar, onions, garlic, parsley, thyme, oats, stout, sugar, ground caraway seeds, salt and pepper.
- Roll up your sleeves and get to work - mix all the ingredients until very well incorporated. There should not be any excess moisture, nor should the mixture be sticky.
- Transfer the mixture to the lined, greased loaf pan and press it down to assist it to take the shape of the loaf pan.
- Bake at 350°F for at least 50 minutes, most likely a full hour. When the internal temp of the loaf reaches 155°F it is done. Use a food thermometer (http://amzn.to/2oKbVoY).
- Remove the stout meatloaf from the oven and carefully pour out and reserve the abundant juices that will be surrounding it in a small bowl or a ramekin. (You can either thicken the reserved juices in a sauce pan with some flour for a gravy or simply drizzle over the slices of meatloaf when serving.)
- Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before removing it from the loaf pan and slicing. While slicing, more delicious liquid will gently ooze out from the stout meatloaf.
- Serve garnished with chopped parsley.

- Use a combination of ground meats: This will give your meatloaf a more complex flavor and texture. Ground beef and pork are a classic combination, but you can also use ground turkey, lamb, or veal.
- Don't overmix the meat: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Add some moisture: Meatloaf can be dry, so it's important to add some moisture to the mixture. This can be done with eggs, milk, broth, or even vegetables.
- Season the meatloaf well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of herbs and spices. Garlic, onion, paprika, and cumin are all good choices.
- Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: This will help to prevent it from drying out. The ideal internal temperature for meatloaf is 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help to keep the juices in and prevent the meatloaf from falling apart.
