### **How to Make Sweet & Spicy Korean BBQ Meatloaf:**
#### **1. Preheat the Oven**
Start by preheating your oven to **375°F (190°C)**. Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper to make sure the meatloaf doesn’t stick.
#### **2. Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture**
In a large bowl, combine the **ground beef**, **breadcrumbs**, **onion**, **garlic**, **milk**, **egg**, **soy sauce**, **sesame oil**, **brown sugar**, **ground ginger**, and a pinch of **salt and pepper**. Mix everything together using your hands or a spoon until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Be careful not to overwork the meat mixture, as that can lead to a dense meatloaf.
**3. Shape and Bake the Meatloaf**
Transfer the meat mixture into your prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to form a nice, even loaf. Alternatively, you can shape the meat mixture into a loaf on a baking sheet if you prefer a crispier exterior.
