Use your hands to mix all the meatloaf ingredients together. Form into your desired loaf shape in a greased 9x13 inch glass pan.
Make the topping, if desired, by mixing all the ingredients together. Spread on top of the meatloaf.
Bake the meatloaf (uncovered) at 350 degrees F for approximately 45 minutes or until cooked through. We often bake it at 225-250 degrees F for about 3½ hours while we're in church Sunday morning so it's ready for lunch when we get home.
