The sweet onion glaze is what makes this meatloaf recipe. Just pair this with some mixed vegetables and mashed potatoes to complete one of the best comfort food meals ever.

Saute the garlic and red onion in the olive oil until it is softened but not browned.
Soak the breadcrumbs in the milk for a few minutes before adding to the ground beef.
Mix together the Parmesan cheese, pepper, thyme, oregano, nutmeg and paprika. Mixing these together first helps to distribute the seasoning evenly through the meatloaf.
Add to the ground beef and breadcrumbs along with the beaten egg.
Combine all well and press into a medium to large sized loaf pan. It's a good idea to use a loaf pan that's a little larger than the amount of meatloaf mixture to allow for the addition of the glaze later. The pan I use is perfect. It gets filled to about ½ inch from the top rim.
Bake at 375 degrees F for about 40 minutes.
Drain excess fat from the loaf pan and add the sweet onion glaze.
Return to oven for an additional 30-45 minutes. Drain excess fat again before serving.
In a small saucepan sauté the onion, garlic and olive oil for about 3 minutes until the onions soften but do not brown.
Add the remaining ingredients and simmer slowly for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
