Glazed Meatloaf

I like comfort food like meatloaf
and don't make it often enough.
I have several recipes and this is the easiest one
because there is little prep work;
no chopping, just mix, shape and bake.

Serving my Easy Scalloped Potatoes for the side. 

It can bake along with the meatloaf.

I use my handy scale to measure out the 

ground beef. Gather all the ingredients.

Combine all the ingredients except the meat and

 let it sit to absorb. Then mix in the meat.

Shape into a loaf and put in a shallow casserole.

*You can prepare it ahead to this point and just

cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate 

to glaze and bake later. 

Combine the glaze ingredients.

Spread the glaze all over the loaf.

Bake about 1 hour.

You'll want to save some leftover slices

 for sandwiches the next day. 

Warmed or cold slices of meatloaf on toast 

with your choice of mustard or more ketchup.

Enjoy!
