Mouth Watering Meatloaf!

Submitted by Auntbee in Port Per

"This is an easy throw together meatloaf that is super moist with a tangy sauce topping, but not baked in a loaf pan, but a cake pan. There aren't any leftovers with this dish!"

My tummy's pretty happy right now (for a pregnant tummy, that's never a given), but I didn't find 2/3 c of breadcrumbs to be nearly enough, and next time I'd reduce the sugar in the topping by half. And probably double the seasoning in the loaf. (Of course, that might all be my pregnancy tastebuds--everything tastes a little strange right now.)

Yes it's a 5 star meatloaf in our place, because the kids got to make it, everyone ate it happily, and yes, there were no leftovers. Used packaged crumbs and garlic powder. It is a very flexible recipe. Would be great to throw in a cup of mixed veggies too. We doubled the sauce (will halve the sugar next time, as we'd prefer it tangy rather than sweet) and cooked it in a large cheesecake tin, lined with foil. Normally daughter picks around meat, but this she happily ate with KC Cooker's #109944 mashed potatoes which mopped the sauce and made it a great meal combo. Simple, good value. Happily make again.
