MEATLOAF
Mix all of the ingredients for the meatloaf together, except the ground meat.
Stir and combine the ingredients well and then add the ground meat to the bowl.
With a very light hand combine the meat and the ingredients together.
KEY TIP: use a very soft/light hand when mixing.
Place the mixture into a meatloaf/bread pan and
gently
press down. Again, using a very soft hand.
Cover with foil and bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.
Uncover the foil, cover the meatloaf with the Topping Sauce, and place the meatloaf back in the oven for about 25-30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes.
Slice/cut and serve with the reserved topping sauce.
