Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 medium onion
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.33 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 0.25 cup honey
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 large garlic cloves (for glaze)
• 0.25 cup ketchup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray or loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Reserve 2 minced garlic cloves for the glaze.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onion, 1 egg, 3 minced garlic cloves, breadcrumbs, milk, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoons ketchup, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared baking tray or loaf pan and shape it into a loaf.

Step 5

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 6

While the meatloaf bakes, make the honey garlic glaze: In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the 2 reserved minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 7

Stir in 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1/4 cup ketchup. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then remove it from heat.

Step 8

After 40 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush the top generously with the honey garlic glaze.

Step 9

Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 10

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra glaze drizzled on top if desired.
