Instructions
Place the ground round in a large bowl, and break it up a little with a large spoon. Add the finely chopped onion, garlic, Ritz cracker crumbs, egg, ketchup, mustard, Italian seasoning, garlic salt, seasoned salt, fresh ground pepper, chili powder, and brown sugar. Mix all ingredients until well blended, and completely incorporated. Butter a loaf pan, and place the meatloaf mixture in the loaf pan, and press into the pan, forming a loaf shape. Set aside. Line a large dish with foil, and turn the loaf pan out onto the foil in the dish, forming the meat loaf. Place the dish in the oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, and turn the oven up to 400 degrees, and bake another 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees in the center of the meatloaf. Meatloaf should be brown on top and sides. Remove Meatloaf from oven, and let rest in pan. Make the Topping: in a medium bowl, mix the Ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, and brown sugar until all ingredients are completely blended. Pour over Meatloaf, and place Meatloaf back in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and allow Meatloaf to cool for 15 minutes before cutting to serve. After 15 minutes, cut Meatloaf in slices with a sharp knife, serve, and enjoy!
