Laura's Meatloaf

Tinkerbell's Mommy's Note:

For this recipe I only omitted the salt. It's a wonderful meatloaf. The glaze on top is so good. The taste of the meatloaf is also great. The time of cooking was perfect. I wouldn't change a thing in this recipe. Thanks Tinkerbell's Mommy :) Made for Best of 2011 tag game

We all loved this for dinner last night. It sliced beautifully and the topping was great. Made for PAC Fall 2011.

This was a good recipe for meatloaf but mine still fell apart. I would have thought with all that oatmeal it would hold together. Plus next time I will add some more spices as it was a bit bland unless you got a dollop of the sweet sauce. That was the best part.
