Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C, line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, and spray it with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs with milk and eggs. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until just combined, do not over mix.
4. Shape the meat into a 8×4 inch loaf and compress it to hold its shape, and place it on the prepared baking sheet (or shape it over the baking sheet). You can also use a loaf pan for this.
5. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the glaze ingredients. Mix until well combined.
7. Using a brush, spread the glaze over the meatloaf, and bake for 15 more minutes or until it’s fully cooked. The internal temp must reach 160°F/71°C.
8. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve over mashed potatoes, and steamed broccoli or green beans.
