*Mama's Meatloaf*




This is just a simple meatloaf recipe...

My husband doesn't like onions so it really is a very simple meatloaf and very easy to make but oh so YUMMY!

This is a great recipe for feeding a family and even better that the Kids can help you mush all the ingredients together! So let everyone get their hands dirty with this recipe!

4.) When well mixed, Pour the contents into a loaf pan
5.) Bake for 30 minutes
6.) While the Loaf is baking mix together all topping ingredients in small bowl (ketchup, water, sugar, & brown sugar)
