I always cook my meatloaf in a large baking pan with a wire rack. I place the shaped meatloaf on the rack .

Bake for 45- 55 minutes in 350 oven.

Combine the ketchup,brown sugar and mustard in a small bowl and mix well.

Spoon or brush the topping over the meatloaf after 30 minutes of baking. Return to oven and bake for the additional time basting occasionally.
