Simple Apricot-Glazed Meatloaf image

I know everyone says their mum's meatloaf is the best and I am one of those who agree--my mum's recipe is the best! This has been one of my favorites since my childhood. While I love it served fresh and hot, a good next-day meatloaf sandwich is also a comfort food. I serve it with a nice arugula salad with cherry tomatoes, raisins, chopped walnuts, and vinaigrette dressing, or for a southern flare--garlic-smashed potatoes and freshly steamed snap green beans. Just yummy deliciousness and mum is always right!

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ pounds ground beef
1 cup bread crumbs
1 small onion, minced
1 large egg, beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ tablespoons apricot preserves
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 cup ketchup
½ cup apricot preserves
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons hot sauce (such as Frank's Red Hot ®)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, garlic, apricot preserves, salt, and pepper for the loaf in a large mixing bowl; mix well until thoroughly combined. Transfer to a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix ketchup, apricot preserves, brown sugar, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar for the glaze together in a medium bowl.
  • Remove meatloaf from the oven and pour glaze over top. Continue cooking until no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meatloaf turned out great! It was moist and flavorful, and the apricot glaze was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this meatloaf for my family and they loved it! The apricot glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste, but everyone else seemed to enjoy it. I will definitely be making this again, but I will reduce the amount of sugar in the glaze.

This meatloaf was a bit dry, but the apricot glaze was delicious. I think I would add more moisture to the meatloaf next time, but the glaze is definitely a keeper.
