Brown Sugar Meatloaf with Ketchup Glaze (Easy & Foolproof)

Serving & Tips

Slice the meatloaf into thick portions and serve warm. The glaze will be glossy, slightly sticky, and packed with sweet-savory flavor. This meatloaf pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, or a simple side salad.

Helpful tips:

• Letting the meatloaf rest before slicing helps it hold together and keeps it juicy.
• If using all ground beef, choose an 80/20 blend for the best balance of flavor and moisture.
• Leftovers make excellent sandwiches the next day — the glaze is even better cold.

Simple, comforting, and absolutely delicious, this Brown Sugar Meatloaf is the kind of recipe you’ll come back to again and again. 🍽️
