BRENDA'S MEATLOAF

2LB. OR 3 LB. Nothing Less Of Ground Chuck
1 Pack of Meatloaf Seasoing Powder, like in a brown gravy pack
1 Small Can Of Tomato Sauce like Hunts
1/2 Green Pepper, Chopped
1 Small Onion, Chopped
2 Eggs Beaten
3 Pieces of Sandwich Bread Tore Up
6 Crackers, crushed
Salt and Pepper, do not add a lot of salt as the seasoning pack has it in it.
1/3 Cup Of Milk
1 Tablespoon of Cooking Oil

Topping:
1/3 Cup Of Brown Sugar or to your liking
1 1/2 Cups Ketchup
Or You Can Just Put Ketchup All Over The Top

In a bowl put the beef, season pack and mix good. Add all of the rest of the ings. Mix good with hands.
Take a piece of alumium foil and put in the bottom of a 9x12 pan. Take the spoonful of oil and pour in the middle of this. Take a paper towel and spread this all over the bottom of the pan as this will keep it from burning. Put the meat loaf in the pan and shape. I do not let mine touch the sides.  Bake on 350 for about a hour covered with sprayed alumium foil. May take longer. Just test it. Pour off the juice. Watch or it will slide out. I use a plastic baster to get it up with and then put the juice in a bowl. That way it want slide out of the pan or you can just dip it out with a spoon.

Make up the topping and pour over it and then bake for about 10 minutes on the bottom shelf. Uncovered. Watch or it will burn easy. If you use the Ketchup as a topping I put mine on when it is half way baked. I still leave it covered until almost done and then I take the foil off. But it will also burn on top easy so just watch it. This is good for a sandwich cold on sandwich bread with mustard on it.
