My meatloaf was a success!

So I decided to experiment with meatloaf this week. I had made meatloaf balls before, which I normally use in other things; but I had never made an actually loaf before. I consulted the girls on The Nest, to find out their meatloaf recipes, and combined some of their ideas to create my own. It turned out fabulous! Jeff loved it. I served it with rosemary red potatoes and steamed asparagus. I'm hungry again just thinking about it. Here is the recipe I finally created via everyone elses.
Loaf:
1lb 80/20 ground beef
3/4 lb of ground turkey
2/3 cup milk
about 1 cup crushed corn flakes
1 egg
1 tbsp hot sauce
1 tbsp crushed garlic
1 tbsp bbq sauce
salt/pepper/thyme
Sauce:
3/4 cup ketchup
1 big squirt of dijon mustard
3 tbsp brown sugar

Combine loaf ingredients in a mixing bowl, mix well. Form into a loaf and stick in a rectangular baking dish (got to use my LaCreusant dish for the first time!). Bake in over at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. Then take out, spread sauce evenly over loaf. Turn oven up to 400 degrees and bake another 25 minutes.
