Brown Sugar Meatloaf Recipe ๐
Description: This Brown Sugar Meatloaf recipe is a delightful twist on the classic comfort food. I use chili sauce or salsa instead of ketchup to give a nice contrast to the sweetness of the brown sugar. You can also opt for a lighter version using Splenda brown sugar blend, skim milk, and Egg Beaters. This recipe is a keeper, sourced from the AllRecipes website and touted as one of their most popular dishes.
