Brown Sugar Meatloaf

We tried a new meat loaf recipe yesterday. Actually, to be honest, I never use a recipe for meat loaf. I just throw every thing in a bowl, mix, and bake. But, I ran out of Molasses, so I resorted to a recipe. Those of us who ate it, liked it! I might have to resort to this recipe again.

1/2 c. brown sugar, packed

1/2 c. ketchup

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef

3/4 c. milk

2 eggs

1 1/2 t. salt

1/4 t. pepper

1 small onion (I used dried onion)

1/4 t. ginger

3/4 c. oats, bread crumbs, or cracker crumbs (I used homemade sour dough bread crumbs. Yum)!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Press brown sugar into bottom of 9 x 5 loaf pan. Spread ketchup over brown sugar. Mix remaining ingredients and place in loaf pan. Press meat to even. Place in oven and bake 1 hr., or until juices run clear.
