Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free oats and milk. Allow soaking for about 5 minutes until the oats are slightly softened.
Add the ground beef, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce to the oats and milk mixture. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until well combined.
Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to make the glaze.
Spread about half of the ketchup glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining ketchup glaze on top. Return it to the oven.
Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
