I know everyone says their mum’s meatloaf is the best and I agree — my mum’s recipe is the best! This apricot meatloaf has been one of my favorites since my childhood. While I love it served fresh and hot, a good next-day meatloaf sandwich is also a comfort food. I serve it with a nice arugula salad with cherry tomatoes, raisins, chopped walnuts, and vinaigrette dressing. Or for a Southern flare, serve with garlic-smashed potatoes and freshly steamed snap green beans. Just yummy deliciousness — Mum is always right!
Ingredients
Glaze
- 1 cup ketchup
- ½ cup apricot preserves
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (such as Frank's Red Hot ®) (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Meatloaf
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 small onion, minced
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ tablespoons apricot preserves
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Make the meatloaf: Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, garlic, apricot preserves, kosher salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl; mix well until thoroughly combined. Transfer to a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, make the glaze: Mix ketchup, apricot preserves, brown sugar, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and cider vinegar together in a medium bowl.
Step 5
Remove meatloaf from the oven and pour glaze over top. Continue cooking until no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
Step 6
Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Tips
If you are using lean ground beef, increase the amount to 2 pounds.
