Ingredients

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground mustard

Instructions

  • Place the ketchup, brown sugar, and ground mustard in a bowl.
  • Whisk together until fully combined.
  • If using on a meatloaf, spread the sauce in an even layer on top of the meatloaf when it has about 15 minutes left of cook time. This will give the sauce a chance to caramelize.

Notes

  • If you prefer to wait and put the sauce on after the meatloaf has completely finished cooking, I recommend heating this sauce in a small saucepan until the brown sugar dissolves.
  • You might have leftovers depending on the size of your meatloaf. You can serve any extra sauce on the side or save for later.
  • Mustard: If you don't have ground mustard you can substitute with yellow mustard or Dijon mustard if you like extra tang.
  • Seasoning: Amp up the flavor even more by adding in 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder or red pepper flakes for heat.
