Brown Sugar Meat Loaf

Sorry - we forgot to get pictures this time. We served this with crn on the cob and blueberry muffins.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup packed brown suger
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
• 11/2 pounds lean ground beef
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 3/4 cup finely crushed Keebler's Toppers crackers (garlic and herb)
• 1 stalk celery, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 5x9 inch loaf pan. Mix the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce together. Press the brown sugar in the bottom of the pan and spread the ketchup mix on top of that. In a bowl, mix all of the rest of the ingredients (your hands work the best). Press into the pan on top of the brown sugar and ketchup. Bake for 1 hour. You can use a paper towel every 15 minutes to soak up the grease during cooking by carefully dipping it into the grease.
