Easy Meatloaf

I've made a few different meatloaf recipes over the years in my tiny kitchen. Our favorite has always been Persian Meatloaf, but this one may just be our new favorite.

It's simple to put together, and the combination of ketchup, mustard and brown sugar gives it a sweet and tangy glaze that is absolutely delicious.

I opted to bake this in a baking dish, as I find that meatloaves are less greasy and get nice and caramelized all around when they aren't in a loaf pan. It was incredibly moist and reheated well for the next few days. Definitely a keeper!
