Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Whisk together ¼ cup of the ketchup and the brown sugar in a small bowl; set aside.
Combine the oats and milk in a big bowl. Let stand until the oats are soft, 5 minutes. Whisk in the eggs, onion, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, the remaining ¼ cup of ketchup, ¾ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of pepper. Add the beef and pork and gently mix with your hands until just combined.
Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch or 3-quart baking dish and form into an 8-by-5-inch oval. Brush the top and sides the meatloaf with the sweetened ketchup. Arrange the tomatoes around the sides.
Bake the meatloaf until the centre of the meatloaf registers 165 degrees Fahrenheit, 40 to 50 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
