  • Total Time: 2 hours
  • Yield: 6 servings

  • In a small bowl, combine chili sauce, dark brown sugar, Worcestershire, and stir to blend.  Pour chili sauce mixture over meatloaf and spread to coat evenly.  Transfer meatloaf to oven and bake, uncovered until a meat thermometer inserted into center registers 160° F. , about 1 hour.  Remove form the oven and allow to cool before slicing.  Spoon off any accumulated fat drippings before serving, if desired.
