This is the best meatloaf I have ever had! I knew I could trust Bobby Flay to deliver a recipe full of flavor! I did not use any veal because I did not have any. It was still delicious.

This was excellent! Very hearty and very flavorful. We used 1 1/2 lbs of ground chuck and 1/2 lb pork because veal was too hard to find. It turned out excellent. The glaze is very tangy and really adds flavor. Thanks for posting this!
