Delicious Apricot Glazed Meatloaf: Easy Recipe

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine ground beef, onion, bread crumbs, egg, 1 1/2 tablespoons of apricot preserves, kosher salt, garlic, and black pepper. Transfer the mixture to a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together ketchup, 1/2 cup apricot preserves, brown sugar, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and cider vinegar to create the glaze.
5. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and pour the glaze evenly over the top. Continue baking until the meatloaf is no longer pink inside, approximately 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 160°F (70°C).
6. Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
