Ingredients

Glaze:
4 teaspoons cider or white vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup or chili sauce
Meatloaf:
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
1/4 cup plain yogurt or milk
1 1/4 lbs. lean ground beef
3/4 lb. ground pork
2/3 cup quick oatmeal
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley leaves

Directions:

Mix all glaze ingredients in small saucepan; set aside.

For the meat loaf:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil in medium skillet. Add onion; saute for 3 minutes. Add garlic to onions and saute for 2 minutes. Set aside to cool while preparing remaining ingredients.

Mix eggs with thyme, salt, pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, pepper sauce and yogurt. Add egg mixture to meat in large bowl along with oatmeal, parsley and cooked onion and garlic; mix with fork until evenly blended and meat mixture does not stick to bowl. (If mixture sticks, add additional yogurt, a couple of tablespoons at a time, until meat no longer sticks.)

Turn meat mixture onto work surface. With wet hands, pat mixture into approximately 9 x 5-inch loaf shape. Place on foil-lined shallow baking pan. Brush with half the glaze.

Bake loaf until meat thermometer registers 160 degrees, about 1 hour. Cool at least 20 minutes. Simmer remaining glaze over medium heat until thickened slightly. Slice meat loaf and serve with extra glaze and Dijon mustard.

“Oh my gosh--this really is the best!! I couldn't find the ground pork, so I used ground turkey & it was awesome! I also doubled the recipe & froze 1 loaf for another day. It was just as good as the first one!”

“This is a GREAT meatloaf recipe. Only suggestion: make extra glaze to pass at the table, since everyone will want some!”
