Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet and Savory Brown Sugar Meatloaf.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and giving a light coat of cooking spray to a 5x9-inch loaf pan.
Step 2
Next, create a sweet base by pressing brown sugar firmly into the bottom of the pan, then generously spread ketchup over the sugar, forming a delicious layer.

Shape this savory mixture into a loaf and gently place it atop the ketchup and brown sugar layer in the prepared pan.

Slide the loaf pan into the preheated oven and let it bake for about an hour, or until the juices run clear and the meatloaf is perfectly cooked through.

Enjoy the delightful aroma that fills your kitchen as it bakes, promising a comforting meal ahead.
