Notes

For best results, let the meatloaf mixture rest for a few minutes after mixing to allow the flavors to meld.
The spicy glaze can be adjusted to your heat preference by increasing or decreasing the amount of hot sauce.
Leftover meatloaf makes excellent sandwiches or can be crumbled over salads for a protein-packed meal option.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
