• Add remaining ingredients and combine (I use my hands but you can use a fork if you're squeamish.).
• Shape into any size loaves you like and place on a cookie sheet lined with foil.
• Combine ingredients for glaze. Brush half glaze onto meatloaf and put cookie sheet into the oven. Bake 25-60 minutes depending on size of meatloaves. They'll probably leak some liquid/fat -- when this starts to happen they're close to done.
