Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).

Grate one small carrot and chop one onion finely.

Add 4 cloves of smoked garlic to the mixture.

In a pan, heat a small amount of oil and sauté the onion, carrot, and garlic for about 5 minutes until caramelized.

In a bowl, beat 2 eggs and add 50 ml of milk, 3 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of mustard, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.

Add 75 g of bread crumbs to the mixture and stir until combined.

Add the sautéed vegetable mixture to the bowl and mix everything together gently to avoid compacting the meat.

Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it in a large baking dish lined with aluminum foil.

Bake in the oven for 40 minutes, but set a timer for 15 minutes as a first check.

Prepare the glaze by mixing 50 g of light brown sugar, 100 g of ketchup, and 2 teaspoons of mustard in a bowl.

After 15 minutes, remove the meatloaf and spread the glaze on top, then return it to the oven for an additional 25 minutes.

Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
