Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, mix ground meat, crushed crackers, egg, milk, ketchup, onion, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until combined.

Transfer the mixture into the loaf pan, shaping it evenly and bake uncovered for 1.5 hours until internal temperature reaches 160°F.

Prepare the sauce by mixing ketchup, brown sugar, apricot preserves, and Worcestershire sauce. Spread half over meatloaf after 45 minutes of baking.

Let the meatloaf rest for 15 minutes, slice, and serve with the remaining sauce.
