The Best Glazed Meatloaf

Step 1

For the meatloaf, in a large mixing bowl, add the crushed saltines and milk and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes. Add the parsley, eggs, onion powder, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Mix well.

Step 2

Add the ground meat and mix until evenly and well combined. (You can use a food processor for all of the above if you want a an even more well combined spice and meat mixture.)

Step 3

For the glaze, combine the ketchup (or BBQ sauce), brown sugar, and vinegar and whisk to combine.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.

Step 5

Pile the meat mixture in the middle of the prepared pan and shape into a loaf about 9 inches long and 4 inches wide (it doesn't have to be perfect; just try to get it an even thickness throughout).

Step 6

Spoon the glaze over the meatloaf. Bake for 45-50 minutes until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F in the center of the meatloaf.

Step 7

Loosely tent with foil and let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
