Brown Sugar Meatloaf

tried this for dinner on Valentines Day...YUM YUM! SO easy and delicious...not dried out like most meatloaf I've had.

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 tsp ground ginger
3/4 cup finely crushed saltine cracker crumbs (about 10)

1. preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 5x9 loaf pan
2. press the brown sugar into the bottom of pan and spread with ketchup
3. in a mixing bowl thoroughly mix all remaining ingredients and shape into a loaf
4. place loaf on top of ketchup
5. bake in a preheated oven for 1 hour or until juices run clear
6. serve with mashed potatoes, buttered corn and brown-n-serve dinner rolls.

I saw this on a post when I was blog surffing and thought I'd let you know about it Jenny, and whom ever else.

Cutting costs with paper towels
You can still save money when you're using paper towels. (Albeit, you can save a lot by switching to cloth napkins and cleaning cloths). Sometimes though, like when you're preparing RAW CHICKEN, paper towels come in handy.

Make your own select-a-size paper towels. So easy. Just cut your (whole roll at once)paper towels in half with a non-serrated knife. I mean it. Use a NON-serrated knife. Or you'll have a fluffy mess on your hands.
