Meatloaf

I've never been the world's biggest fan of meatloaf but the hubby had been requesting it for weeks.  And let me tell you, I cannot wait to make this again.  It was A-mazing!  It's just your basic meatloaf but the brown sugar in the sauce gives it this deliciously subtle sweet flavor.  Mmm mmm good!  Pair this with some Sauteed Mushrooms and your life will be complete!
