This was a great easy meatloaf sauce! It’s a sweeter sauce. I was surprised about the use of nutmeg, but found that it balanced the ketchup and brown sugar nicely. I will definitely use this one again.
Amazing taste and very flavorful! Definitely a keeper! Served it at a banquet of 40-50ppl.. Compliments all around! Thanks again!!!
Great starting point! Next time I’ll tweak it a bit for my taste, a little too sweet for me. Will definitely use this again!
Very good.
Simple, fast and good! Perfect for meatloaf.
I made this for a meatloaf I was preparing. I wasn’t sure if I could place the sauce onto the meatloaf as it cooked so I placed half of this recipe on half of the meatloaf the last 15 minutes. I kept the remaining half for dipping. Once the meatloaf was cooked, the sauce did not dilute and blended well with the meatloaf. Though everyone liked it, it was a wee bit sweet for our taste buds but was highly recommended to make again. If you like sweet, stay with the recommended 6 tablespoons (I used light brown sugar), but in the future I will use 4 1/2 and I think that would be suffice for my family.
I made this sauce as stated, everyone loved it and the meatloaf disappeared. This will be my go to base from now on.
Perfect sauce! I love the nutmeg in it, it adds an awesome twist to it!
A bit too sweet but tasty.
Made it as indicated, the wife loved it. So did I. Great flavor
Delicious sauce.. Didn’t and wont change a thing..
I dont know why more people have not reviewed this. This sauce/topping can be found on a kinda-bland recipe that uses Saltines instead of bread, but this sauce is AMAZING..something about the nutmeg makes it yummy. Do NOT add more nutmeg or it starts to taste weird- keep the proportions exactly as written, double if needed.
Awesome sauce for meatloaf if you like a sweeter sauce. This reminded me a lot of the sauce my mom always puts on her meatloaf…so yummy! The whole family loved this. A definite keeper~YUM! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
