INSTRUCTIONS.
- Preheat oven to 400 F

Make Meatloaf:
- Combine the meatloaf ingredients in the listed order, down to the bread crumbs. Stir well to combine( I use my hands to mix the ingredients together). Add the milk and egg, stir just until combined.
- Add the cheddar cheese and mix well, take care not to overmix.
- Shape the beef mix into a loaf shape and place on baking sheet.
Meatloaf Glaze
- Combine the glazed ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. Brush about 1/2 of the glaze over the meatloaf.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until inside temperature is 160 F.
- Brush the remaining sauce all over the surface of the meatloaf and bake an additional 15 minutes.
- Let cool 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
