Meatloaf:
Adjust oven rack to the middle position. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Spread cheese on a plate; place in freezer until ready to use.
Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Fold a sheet of aluminum foil to form 10x 6 inch rectangle; center the foil on the rack; poke holes in foil with a skewer about 1/2 inch apart; spray foil with vegetable oil spray.
Melt butter in a 10 inch skillet over medium-high heat; add onion and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 6 - 8 minutes. Add thyme, paprika and garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low; add tomato juice; cook, scraping up any browned bits, until thickened, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a small bowl; set aside to cool.
Whisk broth and eggs together in large bowl until combined; sprinkle gelatin over the liquid; let sit for 5 minutes. Stir in crackers, parsley, soy sauce, mustard, salt, pepper and onion mixture. Crumble frozen Monterey Jack cheese into coarse powder; sprinkle over mixture. Add sirloin and chuck; mix gently with hands until thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. Transfer meat to foil rectangle; shape into 10x 6 inch oval, about 2 inches high. Smooth top and edges of meatloaf with a moistened spatula. Bake until loaf registers 135 - 140 degrees, 55 minutes to 65 minutes. Remove meatloaf from oven. Turn on broiler.
Glaze:
While meatloaf is baking, combine glaze ingredients in small saucepan; bring to simmer over medium heat; cook, stirring, until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes.
With a rubber spatula, spread half of the glaze evenly over the cooked meatloaf; place under broiler; broil until glaze bubbles and begins to brown at edges, about 5 minutes. Remove meatloaf from oven; evenly spread meatloaf with remaining glaze; place back under broiler; cook until glaze is bubbling and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
Allow meatloaf to cool for about 20 minutes before slicing.
6-8 servings.
*If you can’t find chuck and/or sirloin, substitute 85% lean ground beef.
