Notes

For an extra smoky flavor, use a smoky barbecue sauce in the glaze.
You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey for a lighter version of this recipe.
If you prefer a firmer texture, add a bit more breadcrumbs to the meat mixture.
For a delicious twist, top the meatloaf with extra cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
