This made a lot more meatloaf than I thought it would, but that’s not a bad thing!  I served this with the Chipotle Smashed Sweet Potatoes and some steamed veggies.  As with the sweet potato dish, it was both sweet and spicy.  I could taste more of the sweet at first (due to the brown sugar glaze), but the spicy kicked in when you delved a little deeper into the loaf.  This was pretty easy to make, but next time I’ll half the recipe.
