Bake the Best Meatloaf Nanas Secret for Juicy Comfort

Instructions:

1. Combine milk and breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Let stand for 15 minutes to soften.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Let cool slightly.
3. In the bowl with the breadcrumb mixture, add the ground beef, sautéed onion and garlic (if using), beaten eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Gently mix with your hands until just combined.
4. Gently press the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and apple cider vinegar.
6. Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes.
7. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
8. Let the meatloaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
