¾ cup
breadcrumbs

Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F with a rack in the center position. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment or foil.
In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of the Worcestershire sauce.
Place the grated onion in a clean kitchen towel and wring out any excess liquid. Transfer the onion to a large bowl. Add the ground beef, sausage, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, salt, Italian seasoning, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire. Mix well, then transfer to the center of the prepared sheet pan. With wet hands, form the mixture into an 8 x 4-inch loaf. Rub the meatloaf with the brown sugar mixture until coated.
Bake until the internal temperature reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 50 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
