Brown Sugar Meatloaf

This one is a recipe of my own! :)  a family favorite.  

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4-1/2 cup ketchup

1.5 lbs Ground Beef

1 small onion, chopped

2 eggs

1/2 cup quick oats

1/2 cup milk

1 package of McCormicks Meatloaf seasoning (I've tried others, but McCormicks tastes the best!)

Press the brown sugar in the bottom of a 5x7 loaf pan.  Pour ketchup evenly on top.  In a large mixing bowl, mix together all remaining ingredients.  Press into pan.  Bake uncovered for 60 min at 375 degrees.  

Oooooooohhh so good!!!  And easy too! ;)
