Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Pour milk over bread and let sit for a few minutes so it absorbs the milk.
In a large bowl combine the beef, milk-soaked bread, onion, garlic, cheese, eggs, parsley, salts and pepper.
Mix with your hands until well combined.
Line a baking sheet with non-stick foil.
Form the mixture into a loaf shape on the baking sheet.
Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Stir until combined.
Spread 1/2 of the mixture on the top of the meatloaf.
Bake for 45-60 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.
Remove from oven, cover loosely with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Use the remaining glaze for dipping.
