Instructions

  1. 01

    Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit.

  2. 02

    Mix together all ingredients for the meatloaf except the flour and milk. Mix just enough to evenly distribute the ingredients throughout the ground beef. Add in flour and milk, being careful not to overmix.

  3. 03

    Form a loaf with the beef mixture. Add enough cooking oil to cover the bottom of a skillet or dutch oven 1/8-1/4 of an inch deep. Heat oil and add loaf. Sear on both sides and remove skillet from heat.

  4. 04

    Whisk together ingredients for meatloaf glaze. Pour over top of meatloaf with any renderings or oil still in the bottom of the skillet.

  5. 05

    Bake in preheated oven for 45 - 50 minutes or until meatloaf reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Halfway through baking, spoon extra sauce from skillet over the loaf. When baking time is finished, remove from oven. Let rest for 10 minutes before moving to a platter or slicing to serve.
