Brown Sugar–Glazed Meatloaf features a caramelized ketchup-brown sugar topping that bakes into a glossy, sweet-savory crust over a tender, juicy interior. Hints of onion and a touch of ginger warm the flavor without overpowering the classic comfort-food profile. It’s a cozy choice for weeknight dinners or a relaxed Sunday meal with mashed potatoes and green beans.
