Spicy Meatloaf

There is nothing better than down home comfort food! The epitome of comfort food for me is a well made meatloaf smothered in ketchup. This meatloaf is not quite the brick of ground beef your mama made, but a quick cooking and filling entree for any meal! This meatloaf has kick and zip. There are a lot seasonings listed here, and feel free to use what you have. For this recipe, I use prepared mustard as opposed to dry mustard. Honestly, what college student has a supply of dry mustard on hand at any given time? I certainly don't.

This is a recipe that makes 4 servings.
