Brown Sugar Meatloaf

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup of ketchup
1-1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/2 cup of milk (less if you're only using 1 pound of beef)
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
3/4 cup finely crushed saltine crackers
1 small onion, diced
.
Press the brown sugar into a well greased loaf pan.  Spread ketchup over the top of brown sugar.
In a seperate bowl mix beef, milk, eggs, salt, black pepper, crushed crackers and onion til it's well combined.  Shape it into a loaf and place over the ketchup and brown sugar.  Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.  Remove from oven and let it sit for 10 minutes.  When serving use the sauce in the pan as a yummy brown sugar glaze over the top of the meat loaf.
