Making this Classic Meatloaf Recipe with Zesty Glaze is straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure a delicious outcome:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, green bell pepper, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and oregano. Mix all the ingredients until just combined.
3. Shape the Meatloaf: Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it in a greased baking dish or on a lined baking sheet.
4. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
5. Apply the Glaze: Spread half of the glaze over the top of the shaped meatloaf.
6. Bake: Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
7. Glaze Again: During the last 15 minutes of baking, spread the remaining glaze over the meatloaf for an extra layer of flavor.
8. Rest Before Slicing: Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices inside.
9. Slice and Serve: Use a sharp knife to cut into the meatloaf, serving slices on a plate.
