"Donna who developed this recipe owned a successful restaurant and this is her recipe. Note: The oven bake time seems short, but because it's at a somewhat higher temperature than what I normally cook mine for, make sure it's cooked through."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add all meatloaf ingredients together and mix well. Make certain all ingredients are mixed thoroughly.

Step 3

On a greased sheet pan or loaf pan, mold the meat into a loaf. (I personally prefer placing it on a sheetpan to release any grease)

Step 4

Precooked strips of bacon (optional)

Step 5

Glaze the meatloaf with about 1/3 of glaze mixture.

Step 6

Place the meatloaf to oven and bake for 15 minutes

Step 7

Remove meatloaf again and re-glaze using another 1/3 of the mixture

Step 8

Lay bacon strips (if using) on the top of the meatloaf.

Step 9

Return meatloaf to oven a bake at 400 degrees F for another 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F.

Step 10

Remove from oven and let the meatloaf rest for about 5 minutes.

Step 11

Slice the meatloaf and serve.

Step 12

Any remaining glaze mixture can be served as a side for dipping.

NOTE: The oven bake time seems short, but because it's at a somewhat higher temperature than what I normally cook mine for, make sure it's cooked through.
