Method

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, mix ground beef, pork, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place in a baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine cornmeal, milk, butter, baking powder, and salt for the cornbread.
