Brown Sugar Meatloaf

My husband and children love Brown Sugar Meatloaf! I must admit that I do too Meatloaf was something that my husband did not enjoy much as a child but then he had mine and was pleased that it was delicious. So every now and then I like to make this version of the meatloaf aside from how I traditionally make it. I also like to put ketchup on top of mine when I eat it — do you??? Another great way to cook meatloaf is in a muffin tin. You can also freeze meatloaf too!
