  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Mix until well combined and shape the mixture into a loaf.
  4. Place the meatloaf in a baking dish.

  2. Spread the glaze over the top of the meatloaf.

Notes

Don’t overmix the meat; it can make the loaf tough. Let the glaze sit on top of the meatloaf while baking for better caramelization. Be sure to let the meatloaf rest before slicing to help it hold together.
