Brown Sugar Meatloaf

It is that time of year that we start pulling out our favorite comfort food recipes and sharing them with our family and friends. It is a great recipe to pull out when company is coming over because it is quick, easy, and turns out delicious every time. Moist, delicious meatloaf encased in a brown sugar glaze. My husband loves when I make this meatloaf because he gets to eat it hot from the oven one day and in a meatloaf sandwich with swiss cheese the next. I used to hate meatloaf, I thought it was dry, tasteless, brick of a dinner. That was until I found this recipe! The worst thing that you can do when making meatloaf is baking it too long. During the last 15 minutes of baking I watch the internal temperature of the meatloaf very carefully, as soon as it registers 160 degrees F on the meat thermometer I take it out of the oven. Serve with mashed potatoes, green beans, buttermilk biscuits and apple pie for a comforting fall meal.
