Honey Glazed Meatloaf is a dish that seems to be as old as time. That’s why we put our own spin on it! Instead of using just ground beef, we split the mixture in half with ground turkey.
The honey glaze on this meatloaf is spicy-sweet, thanks to the mix of our very own Eastern Shore Honey and chili sauce.
Since you just have to pulse and mix the ingredients together, this won’t take you much time. After the meat loaf is in the oven, sit back and relax until dinner is served. You can even make this recipe in a slow cooker.
During the summer, it would be a great idea to blend your favorite local vegetables into the mix before popping it into the oven. Chopped bell peppers are a great addition any time of the year, as would freshly minced garlic. Be bold and add your favorite seasonings to enhance the flavors of the meat!
Since this goes into the oven, use a dark honey it brings out the flavor in meat. Buckwheat Honey is perfect for this dish. Have fun and try something different!
Make a complete meal by serving this with grilled vegetables or sweet potatoes. It’s also good the next day, sliced onto crusty bread and topped with melted cheese, greens, and fresh onion!
