- Using your hands mix the ingredients together then form a loaf shape. Make sure the loaf is even in shape, it should be the same thickness throughout the loaf (be careful of the ends, we have a natural tendency to want to taper it - which will cause it to dry out on the ends).
- Bake, uncovered in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- While the meatloaf is baking, add the tomato glaze ingredients to a small pot. Bring to a low boil and cook while the meatloaf cooks.1 (28 Ounce) Can Tomato Sauce, 2 teaspoons Hot Sauce, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce, 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar, 1 teaspoon Creole Mustard, 1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning

- Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
