EASY SAVORY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• For Meatloaf:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, mix chopped onion and stuffing mix, and pour in the broth and let set while you prepare the pan.
• Line a jelly roll pan or cookie sheet with deep sides with foil. Set a baking rack large enough to hold the meatloaf in the pan and spray lightly with cooking spray, or brush lightly with oil.
• In the large bowl, mix in remaining ingredients until evenly blended.
• Form the meat mixture into a large loaf pan, pressing down with a rubber spatula or large spoon until the meat is evenly pressed into the pan.
• Cut a piece of foil slightly smaller than the top of the meatloaf and press it onto the top. (This foil keeps the meatloaf from falling through the rack as it cooks.)
• Run a dull knife around the sides of the meatloaf to loosen it from the pan.
• Invert the meatloaf onto the prepared rack on the cookie sheet and tap the bottom of the loaf pan so it slides out on the rack.
• You will now bake the meatloaf with no pan. The lets the grease drain away as it cooks.
• Bake about 60 minutes, then remove from oven and glaze the top with the three remaining ingredients blended into a sauce.
• Return to oven and cook about 15 minutes further or until any juices run clear.
• Note: You can substitute ground turkey for the pork. Serve with more of the sauce used for the glaze.
