Notes

Knowing that many like ketchup on top of meatloaf, feel free to spread some on top at the 30 minutes mark with a sprinkle of coconut sugar but this is totally optional. Bake for an additional 15 till you bake for a total of 45 minutes. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes prior to slicing (optional).
