This meatloaf changes a little bit each time I make it. Whatever sounds good I throw in, its a really flexible recipe. I kind of took the basic Martha Stewart recipe I had seen on TV once and threw in a bunch of other stuff.
I think the only way to make meatloaf is with your hands. Using a mixer or other stirring implement always seemed to make the meatloaf tough.
So throw everything into a great big bowl and mix it all up with your hands. I like to push the breadcrumbs into the meat and make sure they kind of break up a bit.
in a separate bowl mix together the last 3 ingredients - remaining tomato paste, brown sugar and BBQ sauce.
Throw the whole crazy meatloaf mess into a pan and spread the topping across the entire top.
Bake in the over for about an hour or until the center is done.
