Meatloaf with Sweet Onion Glaze

Meatloaf with Sweet Onion Glaze. A great old fashioned meatloaf recipe that stays moist and is complimented with the most delicious, easy to make, sweet onion glaze.

Of all the things I’ve ever cooked for her, my meatloaf is what Spouse most often requests. It is a very good standard recipe made even better with the addition of a sweet and spicy onion glaze.

With her other favorite, yesterday’s Rum and Raisin Ice Cream for dessert, I guess I have no fear of the doghouse for the time being…and they say the way to MAN’s heart is through his stomach… luckily I’m not sexist!

A good, old fashioned, homemade meatloaf recipe is hard to beat and everyone needs a good standard version in their comfort food repertoire. This has been my standard recipe for at least the last 25 years but with a little recent updating; a great recipe s always an evolving thing.

This one stays moist and juicy and gets a major flavour boost from a tangy, sweet onion glaze. Some mixed vegetables and mashed potatoes is all it takes to complete one of the best comfort food meals ever.
