Brown Sugar Glazed Meatloaf

GodFeedsUs's Note:

I received this recipe from a newsletter I subscribe to: "Everyday Cheapskate". It gave four different version of meatloaf. This is the first one I've tried and it is DELICIOUS! My husband raved over it, my picky 3 y.o. even ate it and I made one for a friend who just had a baby and all of her family and in-laws enjoyed it, too! I served it with mashed yams and rolls. Yummy!
