Notes

To Make this Meatloaf Recipe in the Oven:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet or a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Prepare the meatloaf mixture and glaze per the recipe.
  • Pat the meat loaf into an oblong loaf shape approximately 2 ½ inches thick. It's important to make the loaf proportional so it will cook evenly. Pour half of the glaze over the top.

  • Rest on the counter for 15 minutes before serving.
