Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it into a lightly greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to create the glaze.

Step 8

Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meat loaf.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the meat loaf from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top.
