Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Step 3
Make the meatloaf: Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, garlic, apricot preserves, kosher salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl; mix well until thoroughly combined. Transfer to a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Step 4
Meanwhile, make the glaze: Mix ketchup, apricot preserves, brown sugar, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and cider vinegar together in a medium bowl.
Step 5
Remove meatloaf from the oven and pour glaze over top. Continue cooking until no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
Step 6
Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
