meatloaf with BBQ sauce, instead? That's what I do, anyway. It gives
the meatloaf an extra kick of spices and tastes (IMO) much better than
making it with ketchup.

the main ingredient of BBQ sauce is ketchup. Of course, in the
interest of full disclosure, I should state that I grew in Kansas.

Carol notes:

My mother (the one whose meatloaf recipe includes raisins) makes
something called Piquant Sauce to top her meatloaf. It has ketchup in
it, but it also has brown sugar, so it's nice and sweet. (I don't
recall any other ingredients in the sauce but can find the recipe if
anyone is interested.) For those who like salty meatloaf, you can
always substitute gravy for anything ketchupy. Or maybe A-1 or
Worcestershire sauce, so you can pretend it's steak. ;-P

about transporting them safely across town
