Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Transfer the meat mixture onto a sheet pan, shaping it into a loaf or packing into a loaf pan.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar.
  5. Brush half of the glaze over the meatloaf.
  6. Place the glazed meatloaf in the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
  7. After 45 minutes, apply the remaining glaze over the meatloaf.
  8. Continue baking for an additional 15 minutes.
