Truth be told, I'm always a little shocked by how excited my kids get when I make meatloaf. I mean, it's meatloaf. Isn't there a rule somewhere that kids aren't supposed to like it? I always thought I was just one of those weird kids who actually liked it.
Apparently, I was wrong, because it's definitely a hot commodity at our house. There's never even a tiny piece left in the pan, and there may or may not always be a fight over the last piece.

- For the glaze, mix ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard in a small bowl. Pour evenly over meatloaf.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes.

I love that the recipe calls for oatmeal, a little added fiber. If you don't have any or are a little freaked out by adding oatmeal, you can use crushed soda crackers or bread ripped into tiny pieces.
The sweet ketchup-based glaze that goes on the top is optional. We love to serve meatloaf with baked potatoes and broccoli or green beans. We love butter and Homemade Ranch Dressing as a topping on our baked potatoes.
Yum! Just thinking about this meal has me drooling. It's such a great no-fuss dinner that comforts you to the core. And,seriously, you also need to try this Easy Baked Pork Roast. It's fabulous!
Meatloaf pans are the bomb! They drain the fat themselves so you don't have to. I'm hoping Santa brings me one.:)

Frequently Asked Questions about making Classic Meatloaf
what substitutes can I use for the oatmeal?
Using the same measurement as the oatmeal, you can use breadcrumbs or cracker crumbs.
for the glaze, what can i use in place of the ketchup?
If you don't have ketchup, you can try adding tomato sauce to the brown sugar and mustard, or you can spread salsa on top.
can i use a different size pan?
If you don't have a loaf pan, form the meatloaf in the shape of a loaf and place it in the center of an 11×17 pan. If you want to soak up the grease, put a couple of pieces of bread under the meatloaf before cooking.
what is the best way to drain off the grease?
You can buy a meatloaf pan that helps drain the grease. If you don't have one, carefully drain the grease by pouring it out of one corner of the pan. Be careful! Also, you can put bread slices under the meatloaf, which will help soak up the grease.
