Sorry but I had a little trouble with this meatloaf, it came out of the pan in pieces, I did use a non stick pan, anyway stuck it back together and glazed it , we did like the flavour, very nice and it did make great sandwiches for lunch the day after.

This was good, nice and firm yet moist meat loaf. Next time I might add some chopped up peppers to spice it up a bit. The glaze was a hit. Thanks!
