Preparation Steps

  • Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the center reaches 160F. In a small bowl, mix glaze ingredients (ketchup and brown sugar).
  • Spread glaze over the meatloaf and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until glazed and cooked through.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Tip: Let meatloaf rest before slicing for clean cuts. You can add grated carrot or zucchini for extra moisture.
