Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Brown Sugar Meatloaf
Recipe from Allrecipes


Ingredients:

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 cup finely crushed saltine cracker crumbs


Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 5x9 inch loaf pan.
Press the brown sugar in the bottom of the prepared loaf pan and spread the ketchup over the sugar.
In a mixing bowl, mix thoroughly all remaining ingredients and shape into a loaf. Place on top of the ketchup.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour or until juices are clear.


*What I did differently - I used probably only a 1/4 cup ketchup (yuck), NO ONIONS (hate onions!), and panko crumbs instead of cracker crumbs. I also mixed the ketchup and sugar together instead of just layering it.

** Now I just use barbecue sauce instead of ketchup.  I also make it in muffin tins, and cook it at 425 degrees for 30 minutes.  Yum.
