Meatloaf with Brown Sugar Glaze

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Sauté onion and garlic in a bit of oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
2. In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, Worcestershire, thyme, salt, pepper, and the cooked onion mixture. Mix with your hands just until combined — overworking makes it tough.
3. Shape into a loaf on a rimmed baking sheet (not in a loaf pan — free-form gives you more surface area for the glaze). Mix glaze ingredients and spread half over the top and sides.
4. Bake 45 minutes. Spread remaining glaze on top and bake another 15-20 minutes until internal temperature reads 160°F. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
5. Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans.
