Gotta Have Seconds Meatloaf

This is absolutely the best meatloaf I have ever tasted. A touch of sage in the meat along with the special ketchup topping make this meatloaf suitable for serving to company. I always serve it with mashed potatoes and cream corn--the way my parents did when I was growing up.
