This looks really delicious!
I made brown sugar meatloaf recently – so good! Now I wish I had made it in a heart shape haha
Still single this Valentines so didn't really celebrate. Loved seeing the different dishes being prepared. This one is definitely unique
Oh this would have been so fun to make for my hubby, he is a meat and potatoes type of guy <3 I especially love the glaze, sometimes meatloaf can come out dry so that would really help!
