Brown Sugar Meatloaf by Alicia

This recipe is from: http://astepinthejourney.com/2014/03/brown-sugar-meatloaf.html

After having my third child I was blessed with many meals from many friends.  This was one of my favorites and I had to get the recipe from her.  When she made this meatloaf, she made it with turkey and oh man was it delicious!!!  You can use ground beef or ground turkey in this recipe and both are yummy.  We pair this with chunky smashed potatoes and fresh red beets.  

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1.5 - 2 lbs of lean ground beef
• 1 cloves of garlic
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 pkg dry onion soup mix
• 3/4 cup oatmeal
• 
  

Assembly:

Line a loaf pan with aluminum foil for easy serving and clean up. 

Combine brown sugar, ketchup, and 1 TBSP Worcestershire sauce, 
mix well and set aside.

In a separate bowl combine ground beef, minced garlic, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, milk, 2 eggs, salt and black pepper, dry onion soup mix, and oatmeal. 
Mix well with your hand and then add 1/3 of the brown sugar mixture.

Pour enough of the brown sugar mixture to cover the bottom of the loaf pan.  
Add the meatloaf and top with the remaining brown sugar mixture. 

To bake:

Thaw the night before in the refrigerator.  

Preheat the oven to 350, bake for 1 hour or until the meatloaf reaches 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.
