Notes

If you feel like your meatloaf is too "sloppy" add up to 2 more tablespoons of breadcrumbs, don't over do it or your meatloaf will be dry.

We don’t use any milk in our recipe. The A1, ketchup, and mustard will give you all the moisture (and flavor) you need.

Alternate topping: Mix 15 ounces tomato sauce with ¼ cup mustard, and ¼ cup brown sugar. Make sure that the top of the meatloaf is flat. Pour this over the top and allow it to drip down the sides of the meatloaf. You want the top to have a thick coating.
