How to make Meatloaf Recipe with the Best Glaze Recipe:
Line a 9”x5” loaf pan with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatloaf thoroughly.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, gently pressing it down to shape evenly. Bake the meatloaf uncovered at 375°F for 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce. Spread the sauce evenly over the meatloaf.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F on an instant-read thermometer.
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with the pan juices before serving.
