Aprons on. Let’s do this.
- 01
Meatloaf
- 02
Saute the garlic and red onion in the olive oil until it is softened but not browned.
- 03
Soak the breadcrumbs in the milk for a few minutes before adding to the ground beef.
- 04
Mix together the Parmesan cheese, pepper, thyme, oregano, nutmeg and paprika. Mixing these together first helps to distribute the seasoning evenly through the meatloaf.
- 05
Add to the ground beef and breadcrumbs along with the beaten egg.
- 06
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.
- 07
Bake at 375 degrees F for about 40 minutes.
- 08
Drain excess fat from the loaf pan and add the sweet onion glaze.
- 09
Return to oven for an additional 30-45 minutes. Drain excess fat again before serving. Sweet Onion Glaze
- 10
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.
