Best Meatloaf Recipe is the only one you’ll ever need! Thick, hearty, flavorful meatloaf is made with classic ingredients and is topped with the very best glaze. It’s an easy recipe that always hits the spot when you need a little comfort!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet/dish with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Or, spray a loaf pan with non stick spray and set aside.
Add all of the ingredients for the meatloaf into a large bowl. Use your hands to mix everything together just until combined. Don't overmix.
Place the meat mixture onto the prepared pan and shape in to a loaf about 8x4 inches. Or, if using a loaf pan add the meat to the pan and press down gently to form the meat to the shape of the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
While the meat is cooking, whisk together all of the ingredients for the glaze in a medium bowl until combined.
After the meatloaf has cooked for 40 minutes, carefully remove from the oven and spoon or brush the glaze evenly over the meat.
Return to the oven and cook for 10-15 more minutes.
Allow the meatloaf to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
NOTE ON GLAZE: The glaze for this meatloaf is totally optional. It's delicious, but this meatloaf is also great as is or served with gravy if that is your preference! NOTE ON STUFFING: I love using the stuffing because it adds so much great flavor! If you don't have stuffing you can also use 1 Cup of either Italian breadcrumbs, Panko breadcrumbs, or crushed saltine or ritz crackers.
