My mother made the best meatloaf in town, but would never share her recipe saying it was just a basic meatloaf recipe with a "secret ingredient". Now all MY family and friends beg for this meatloaf, but only my daughter knows the secret ingredient -- now you will too. You will get raves on this one!
06They will both fit comfortably in a 13" by 9" pan.
07Mix the topping together and spread on the top and the sides of the loaves.
08Cook at 375 for one hour or 400 for 45 minutes.
09Check for firmness.
10Let rest for ten minutes before cutting.
11Tips---------.
12If you have stale bread you can lay 2 slices under each loaf and it will soak up the grease so your meatloaf is a bit leaner upon serving.
13Also, you can use the Chili Sauce on top of the meatloaf instead of catsup.
14This makes it spicier but my mother never did this because it would have given away her"Secret Ingredient" -- and the kids probably will like it better with catsup on top.
