i only like meatloaf if I make it, or someone close to me I know makes it. I never, ever eat it out at as I have no idea what they've put in it, shudder. Actually meatloaf sounds pretty good at the moment with this nice cool crisp fall weather, have to make one this week for sure. Thanks for the idea!

Lyn, I know exactly what you mean...I never order meatloaf out. My hubby and daughter do, but I'm a much pickier eater than they are. Never know what's in it.
Once my daughter order chicken and dumplings and it was the most disgusting meal I have ever seen. She tried to eat it but it was bright yellow...don't know if that was food coloring or what !!! I still almost gag to think of it. YUCKO Only eat my mom's c & dumplings and she is 95. Mine never turned out like hers. She's a wonderful cook but I guess those days are over now. Such a shame, too. The end of my cooking days will not be mourned by many.LOL....I try...I really do just too many good cooks in my family and I could never quite live up to their cooking.

Tonight is leftover roasted chicken mixed and heated through with some Newman's light honey mustard salad dressing, torn pieces of cooked turkey bacon thrown in,
and with some cooked whole wheat linguine mixed in. Salad.
Trying a new invention!

1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Mix all meat loaf ingredients well and place in a baking dish. Shape into a loaf.
Topping:
Mix ingredients for topping and spread on loaf. Bake for 1 hour.
