Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.

Add ‚ cup chili sauce and all remaining ingredients and with your hands mix until just combined (do not overmix).
- Transfer mixture to an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch glass loaf pan, pressing down on mixture to eliminate any air pockets (mixture will completely fill pan), and spread remaining 6 tablespoons chili sauce evenly over top.
