MEAT LOAF WITH BROWN SUGAR-KETCHUP GLAZE
If you like, you can omit the bacon topping from the loaf. In this case, brush on half of the glaze before baking and the other half during the last 15 minutes of baking. If you choose not to special-order the mix of meat below, we recommend the standard meat loaf mix of equal parts beef, pork and veal, available at most grocery stores.

THE BEST BROWN SUGAR MEATLOAF
This recipe doesn't call for ketchup like many do. I use tomato sauce instead and it is topped with a tomato sauce and brown sugar glaze. It was my biggest seller at the club I used to cook for. Easy to make too. Compliment it with a beef gravy, mashed potatoes, and a side of corn,

Tips:

- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your meatloaf will taste. If possible, use fresh herbs and spices, and avoid using pre-packaged mixes.
- Don't overmix the meat. Overmixing the meat will make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape. Place the meatloaf mixture in a greased loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. You can also form the meatloaf into individual meatballs.
- Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the meatloaf. Reduce the temperature after 15 minutes to finish cooking the meatloaf.
- Baste the meatloaf with ketchup glaze. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and flavorful. Baste the meatloaf every 15 minutes during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help to keep the meatloaf from falling apart. Let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
