Classic Glazed Meatloaf
Tender, juicy meatloaf with a sweet-tangy ketchup glaze
By RecipesQueen Kitchen • June 10, 2026
This classic meatloaf is everything comfort food should be — tender, juicy, and topped with a sweet-tangy ketchup glaze that caramelizes in the oven.
The secret to a moist meatloaf is a panade — bread soaked in milk that keeps the meat tender. A mix of ground beef and pork adds richness.
Let it rest 10 minutes after baking so it holds together when sliced. Serve with mashed potatoes.
