Personal Notes:
Always makes me think of mom and has ruined all other meatloafs for me. The topping however, comes from a friend in Wisconsin. I change it out between this topping and the way mom used to keep a little of the tomato soup and spread that on top. The brown sugar one tastes like bbq sauce, and mom's is more tomato in flavor. Never had leftovers of this in fridge for more than 24 hours.
