In a small saucepan, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce.
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.
Once the sugar is dissolved, add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the sauce.
Continue to heat the sauce, stirring frequently, until it begins to simmer gently and thicken slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before using.
Spread the prepared sauce evenly over the top of your meatloaf during the last 15 minutes of baking, or serve it on the side as a rich, flavorful dipping sauce.
