Meat Loaf

I found this recipe on All Recipes. It had 4.5/5 stars with over 4,000 votes. This was my first time making meat loaf, and although I have to admit it has to be something I am in the mood for, it turned out good. Even Jared who was swearing that he wouldn't even try it came around when it had the house smelling so good. And yes, he did try it and actually liked it.

1.5 lbs ground beef
1/2 c milk
2 eggs
1/2 packet onion soup mix
1.5 t salt
1/4 t pepper
1/4 t ginger
3/4 c crushed saltine cracker crumbs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup

Combine all ingredients (except last two) until well combined and shape into loaf. Bake in loaf pan at 350 for 1 hour or until juices run clear. Combine last two ingredients and put on top and bake for additional 15 minutes.
