Tender Glazed Meatloaf
Meatloaf, a crowd-pleasing party main perfect for the holidays or family gatherings. Ground beef is mixed with grated onion and milk-soaked breadcrumbs for an ultra-tender texture, then baked under a sweet-and-tangy ketchup-mustard glaze. Like a giant Salisbury steak baked in one loaf and sliced to serve.
