Brown Sugar Meatloaf
Brown Sugar Meatloaf is seriously AMAZING! This is a really popular recipe with our families. My husband and children LOVED this recipe! I must admit that I do too. Meatloaf was something that my husband did not enjoy much as a child but then he had mine and was pleased that it was delicious. So every now and then I like to make this version of the meatloaf aside from how I traditionally make it. I also like to put ketchup on top of mine when I eat it — do you???
Another great way to cook meatloaf is in a muffin tin. You can also freeze meatloaf too! I love the tip that Melissa recently shared about Using plastic gloves when you prepare your meatloaf – It really cuts down on the clean up! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did!

Brown Sugar Meatloaf is so easy to make and tastes delicious
Hi, just wondering if you could do the “brown sugar” meatloaf in the crockpot…. Thanks!
Yes you can! Just freeze and then put into the crockpot to cook.
BEST MEATLOAF EVER!!!
My family and I absolutely love this recipe (even my husband who is not a fan of meatloaf)!!! The only difference I made was how I cook it. I cook it in the regular 24 slot cupcake pan. For my family it takes doubling the recipe and using two pans. This method only takes 20 minutes which is wonderful for my 3 impatient kids, lol. Thank you so much sharing this fabulous recipe = )
This is one of our favorites.
I want to make sure that this recipe can truly be baked in my muffin tin. Thank you!
Yes, it can!
