I like to use Hunt's ketchup... JUST KIDDING! :-P Seriously, I love Hail Mary Meatloaf. I also like using about a half cup more HIENZ Ketchup than what the recipe calls for. I also believe the baking time and temperature needs to be increased. I bake mine at 375° F for 90 minutes, spreading the remaining ketchup mixture over the meatloaf for the last 30 minutes of baking. Don't try to slice it until it's had at least 15 minutes to cool in the pan otherwise it will crumble apart upon removal. One of my absolute favorites Mmm, mmm...
