Meatloaf
 2 tbsp olive oil
 3 cloves finely chopped garlic
 1 medium red onion, finely diced
 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
 1 cup bread crumbs
 3 ounces milk
 ½ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
 1 tsp ground black pepper
 1 tsp dried thyme
 1 tsp dried oregano
 ½ tsp nutmeg
 1 tbsp smoked paprika (optional)
 1 beaten egg
Sweet Onion Glaze
 3 tbsp olive oil
 1 small onion, julienned
 3 cloves minced garlic
 1 cup plain tomato sauce
 ½ cup brown sugar
 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
 ½ tsp black pepper
 ½ tsp salt
 4 tbsp hot sauce (more or less to taste)
 4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
 1 tbsp dry mustard powder
 1 tsp ground ginger
Meatloaf
1

Saute the garlic and red onion in the olive oil until it is softened but not browned.

2

Soak the breadcrumbs in the milk for a few minutes before adding to the ground beef.

3

Mix together the Parmesan cheese, pepper, thyme, oregano, nutmeg and paprika. Mixing these together first helps to distribute the seasoning evenly through the meatloaf.

4

Add to the ground beef and breadcrumbs along with the beaten egg.

5

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.

6

Bake at 375 degrees F for about 40 minutes.

7

Drain excess fat from the loaf pan and add the sweet onion glaze.

8

Return to oven for an additional 30-45 minutes. Drain excess fat again before serving.
