Preheat the oven to 350° and lightly grease a 9×5 loaf baking pan.
Combine all the ingredients for the meatloaf in a mixing bowl and mix it until ingredients are evenly incorporated throughout.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared baking pan and use a wooden spoon to spread evenly in the pan.
Cook meatloaf for 45-50 minutes until it reaches the internal temperature of about 155°.
Mix the ingredients for the glaze and spread it over the top. Bake for another 10-15 minutes.
Let it rest for about 10 minutes before cutting.

Notes
Gluten Free Notes: It’s very simple to make this meatloaf recipe gluten free by just swapping out bread crumbs for gluten free bread crumbs. Italian style gluten free bread crumbs are not as widely available as plain, so you may need to get plain gluten free crumbs and add dried parsley, dry oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to get the flavors into it.
For Juicy Meatloaf: make sure to use a combination of ground pork and ground beef. Get ground beef that is 85/15 or 90/10 but no leaner. Bake it at 350° until reaches 155°, add the topping and bake another 10-15 minutes.
Freezing: Prepare the meat mixture according to the recipe and transfer into the baking pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes, until just cooked. Cool completely before freezing. Freeze the meatloaf without the topping. Transfer the loaf into aluminum pan, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil and the plastic wrap. Label and freeze for up to 2-3 months. Thaw overnight, in the refrigerator. Spread topping all over the top and reheat at 350° for 15-20 minutes.
Mini Meatloaves: to make mini meatloaves in a muffin pan, you would just need to adjust the baking time. Use a standard muffin pan, grease it with some cooking oil spray, and fill them up with meatloaf mixture. Press the mixture down to fill each cup all the way. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes, take them out of the oven. (If there are too many juices accumulated, simply drain off some but not all!) Top it off with the prepared sauce and bake another 10- 15 minutes, until done.
