6️⃣ Glaze & Finish Baking – After 45 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the glaze on top. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.
7️⃣ Let It Rest & Serve – Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with mashed potatoes or a side of vegetables.
