Classic Meatloaf

Do you remember your Mom making that classic meatloaf recipe? I remember the smell of it throughout the house as it cooked. We always had homemade mashed potatoes complete with some lumps and green peas. And of course homemade gravy.

It was so good and total comfort food. The best on a cold or even snowy night. Now I’m not saying that meatloaf is only good in colder weather because we make it all year long. It’s the perfect meal any time of year.  It’s just that it brings back such great memories.

Brown Sugar Meatloaf Recipe

This Brown Sugar Meatloaf recipe has been around forever and sometimes when we make it we even double it and make an extra loaf and freeze one for later. 

We always like to make a meal for the freezer to have on hand for a night when we may not feel like cooking or just don’t have the time. Just don’t put the glaze on until your cooking it.  

We used ground beef for this meatloaf but you can use ground turkey or ground chicken if you like. We just prefer ground beef for this. You can also use a mix of ground beef and turkey if you like. We love mixing ground beef and ground pork for meatballs so why not try that for meatloaf too?!

This meatloaf is a breeze to make. Some ground beef,  chopped onion and green pepper, bread crumbs, shredded cheese, ketchup, egg, brown sugar, pepper ect and you have yourself a delicious dinner to pop in the oven.

Sometimes we leave out the pepper and add chopped broccoli. If you don’t like the flavor of veggies in your meatloaf just leave them out. Experiment and see what flavors you like best.

We always add the onions and peppers. sometimes I switch out the green peppers and use red or mix them up depending on what we have in the refrigerator. 

Serve this up with a simple salad and some crusty bread or some mashed potatoes and you have a perfect meal. 

Did I mention that leftovers if there are any make a scrumptious sandwich?! Well yes it does. A perfect filling for a grilled cheese meatloaf sandwich if I do say so myself. 

So give this delicious Browns Sugar Meatloaf a try I bet you will love it as much as we do!
