Preparation

SAUCE:

Mix 1 cup ketchup with 1/2 cup brown sugar and about the last 20 minutes of baking time put this sauce on top of the meatloaf. These are additional amounts of both Ingredients for the sauce.

Instructions:

Mix all meatloaf ingredients together. Blend well. Pat meatloaf into a 9" loaf pan or make into small individual loaves for single use later. Spread remaining sauce mixture over top of meatloaf. Bake in 400 degree oven for one hour.

Our daughter will only eat Moms Best Meat Loaf. And most the time I just put stuff in and do not measure but she told me I had to measure the stuff out so that she could have the recipe when she left home and got married. So here it is and I hope that you and your family enjoy it as much as we do. We serve it with baked potatoes and corn.

I LOVED this dish. It was my first time making meatloaf. I actually liked it soooo much better as leftovers the second day and on. It seemed like the ingredients had time to fully settle and penetrate throughout after the first day, so it made it so much better. It had a very sweet glaze, but I like meatloaf that way. On the second day, I heated it up in the microwave and put it on potato rolls with ketchup on top. YUMMY!

I did find this meatloaf a bit too sweet...I did not even use all of the brown sugar and did not use any of the topping. Would most likely try again with only the spices as I did find this interesting.

Delicious recipe. I cut the brown sugar down to about a 1/2 cup.

This is the best recipe I have made for meatloaf! My husband loves meatloaf, but I have a hard time getting the consistancy right. This recipe was perfect and delicious!

Thanks!

This recipe has potential, but with a few adjustments. My wife did not like it, but I found it interesting! Back off on some of the seasonings......use 1 Tbls each of parsley, worchestire, terriyaki, and A1 sauce, and only 1 tsp of salt.

There was way too much ketchup sauce.....and too sweet. I would 1/3 cp ketchup and 1 tsp of packed brown sugar.....this would be plenty for the topping. I also blended 1/2 lb. ground pork in place of 1/2 lb. of the ground beef.

I've never made meatloaf before. So when my boyfriend asked me to make it for him, I was skeptical!!! I found this recipe and we both LOVED it!!! It tasted amazing both fresh out of the oven and the next day. I'll definitely be using this recipe from now on!!!

I Thought This was the BEST DARN MEATLoaf I have ever tasted and I would never ever eat my moms meatloaf and I love this Meatloaf. If You don't like it the first time adjust the amounts on the ingredients and make it again. I thought it was so RUDD of the person that left the comment about No Way No Good, I was always taught that if you didn't have nothing nice to say, Say nothing at all. Obviously she cooked it wrong and just didn't work with it add or delete as much of some ingredient, but this is GREAT MEATLOAF. LEARN to cook Don't leave Mean Comments. @@@@@@@

This meatloaf was WAY WAY WAY too sweet. My husband and I felt sick after a few bites. This was a waste of time and a waste of food.

Yes we would make this again. I used about 3/4 cup of brown sugar in the loaf, next time I will use about 1/2 cup as we found it a little sweet for our taste, but still a nice meat loaf.

This is my recipe just adding edits to it. Can use Lipton Beefy Onion instead of Onion or use both. Use Brown Sugar amount to own taste (some like if sweater then others). Also I use a dash of or 8 drops of Tabasco Sauce, (which I have found in my cooking to use Tabasco Sauce in almost all main dishes and from a really great man cook that we know I have now started using Old Bay in a lot of my recipes too. Between OLD BAY SEASONING AND TABASCO SAUCE they have become my best friends in cooking. LOL [I posted this recipe.]
