April 25: Meatloaf (The Best)

I recently learned this secret to a great tasting meatloaf.

1 1/2 - 2 lbs lean ground beef
Mix ground beef with a variety of other ingredients like:
(I add whatever I have on hand.)
ground oats
fresh or dried bread crumbs
beaten egg
milk
diced onion, celery, green pepper, garlic
grated carrot
sliced green onion
ketchup
salt and pepper
parsley
Press into loaf pan.

The secret:
Put a layer brown sugar on top of meatloaf
Then a layer of ketchup.

Bake at 350 for about 1 hour or until done depending on size of meatloaf.
