Susan'S Sweet And Tangy Meatloaf

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 4 garlic cloves, minced (I add more!)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (I just eyeball a few good sized dashes)
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (can omit if you don't want a kick, we love it!)
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup apricot preserves (original recipes called for pineapple preserves but we prefer apricot)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, worcestershire, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper. Mix well and place into a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile. in a separate medium bowl, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar and apricot preserves and pour over the meatloaf.
5. Bake another 20 minutes.
