Secret Ingredient Meatloaf

Who's in the mood for a home cooked
meatloaf dinner?
This  meatloaf gets a flavor boost with a

good amount of seasonings, plus an ingredient

 you don't often find in meatloaf recipes;

soy sauce. 

It's what makes this one just bit 

different from my others. And I have a few,

because it's a favorite comfort food dinner

Combine all the ingredients and shape into
1 regular or 2 smaller loaves.
If I don't have celery, I add ½ t celery seed.

Mix the glaze ingredients in a small bowl.
Spread the glaze over the top.
Making 2 small loaves, one to bake now and one

 to freeze for another night.

I baked the two this time so that I would have

leftover meatloaf sandwiches for lunch.

Just warm the meatloaf slices for a  minute in the

microwave. Toast and butter the bread, add the
warm meatloaf slices and more ketchup if desired. 

I'll usually mix this up when I have a few minutes

earlier in the day and refrigerate it covered

until I want to get dinner started. I'll pop

some baking potatoes in the oven along with the

 meatloaf and when everything's done, just 

 micro a fresh vegetable or make a salad.
