Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 3

Add the diced green olives, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper into the bowl. Mix thoroughly but avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and shape it evenly into a loaf.

Step 5

In a small bowl, prepare the glaze by combining the ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Mix until smooth.

Step 6

Spread the glaze mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
