• Mix the topping together and spread on the top and the sides of the loaves.
• Cook at 375 for one hour or 400 for 45 minutes.
• Check for firmness.
• Let rest for ten minutes before cutting.
• Tips---------.
• If you have stale bread you can lay 2 slices under each loaf and it will soak up the grease so your meatloaf is a bit leaner upon serving.
• Also, you can use the Chili Sauce on top of the meatloaf instead of catsup.
• This makes it spicier but my mother never did this because it would have given away her"Secret Ingredient" -- and the kids probably will like it better with catsup on top.
• Enjoy!
