The dried apricots have to be washed and cut, then transferred to a large mixing bowl. If desired, sprinkle the apricots with 1 teaspoon of honey. Also, preheat the oven to 350°F.
In the bowl, place the rest of the ingredients: ground beef, chopped dried apricots, flour, 1 egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and season with salt. Mix the ingredients well together, and then transfer the mixture to a loaf pan.
Now, place in the preheated oven the meatloaf and bake for 45-50 minutes until it is fully done. When it is fully cooked, remove it from the oven, slice it, and serve. Enjoy this absolutely delectable dish with your family!

To help rehydrate the chopped apricots, soak them in boiling water for a little while before adding them to the meatloaf. This will make the meatloaf more delicate and enrich the taste of dried apricots.
