Review:

This is a simple meatloaf recipe I've come up with. I made it last night for dinner and it turned out well but there are some things I did a little different than the above recipe. I didn't have any oats so I used some crushed butter crackers instead and I forgot to add the onion. It didn't hit me about the onion until well after we ate dinner. I also cooked my meatloaf a little too long, 45 minutes at 400 then 15 minutes more and after the fact I would have preferred it at the above stated times.
The topping is, I think, very good! It's sweet and tangy and is a nice addition to the simple meatloaf. I found it from another recipe I was using for meatloaf.
Since this is such a simple recipe you can add to it according to the likes of your family and tastes. Enjoy!

*Sorry, no picture, I forgot to snap one after it was done. I'll edit this post the next time I make this meatloaf.
