Add flavor to your plain meatloaf by topping it with a sauce.
People often decide they love or hate meatloaf based upon the sauce that tops it. Be it tangy or gravy-like, there is no one meatloaf sauce that all people use. For example, a few of the meatloaf sauces incorporate steak sauce into the topping, while others use tomato chunks. There are many sophisticated options available, but one of the most commonly used meatloaf sauce recipes uses three basic kitchen staples: ketchup, mustard and brown sugar.
