Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. (70 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, sauté the chopped onion in a little butter or olive oil until softened before adding it to the meat mixture.
Feel free to experiment with different types of ground meat, such as beef, pork, or turkey, or a combination thereof.
A pinch of red pepper flakes added to the glaze will provide a subtle kick.
To prevent the meatloaf from sticking, lightly grease the loaf pan or line it with parchment paper before adding the meat mixture.
Letting the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful loaf.
