Sooz’s Meatloaf

I know.... ANOTHER meatloaf recipe. But this is how I have always made my meatloaf. My family does not like "Chunks" in their meatloaf and they like the glaze a little spicy and sweet. If you like onions or green peppers in your meatloaf, then this is not a recipe for you. But even my Mother-in-Law who makes great meatloaf asked for this recipe after the first time I made it and requests it when she comes into town. Serve it with Mom's Cheesy Mashed Potato and Corn Casserole http://www.recipezaar.com/230383 and a salad and you have a great meal! Make sure and bake this in a baking dish and not a loaf pan as the grease will drain and the meatloaf will be firmer.
