Ritz Meatloaf

• Preheat your oven to 400°F / 200°C and position the rack in the middle of the oven. Grease a meatloaf pan with some vegetable oil lightly.
• In a medium bowl, combine crushed  ritz cookies with milk and keep aside for 5 minutes.
• Place the ground beef, soaked ritz crackers, chopped onion, garlic, eggs, Cheddar cheese, parsley, bbq sauce, paprika, taco seasoning, ground black pepper and salt into a large bowl and mix just until combined. Don't over mix the mixture because the meatloaf will be firm.
• Transfer the mixture into a prepared loaf pan and shape the meatloaf. Turn it out onto the grill tray/ skillet. If you don't have a loaf pan, place the mixture into a grill skillet and shape the meat log with your hands.

Meatloaf Glaze

• In a medium bowl combine ketchup, ponzu sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and onion powder. Mix well until lumps free.
• Spread half of the glaze on the meatloaf, using a spoon. Bake for 1 hour, then remove from the oven and spread the remaining  sauce over the meatloaf.  Bake another 15 minutes.
• Let the meatloaf rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, cheesy roasted asparagus, aloo palak, fattoush salad, jasmine rice, steamed broccoli or brown rice.
