I love this meatloaf. I like things "sweet" and this was just right. I always thought Mrs. Cobb sounded like she was a good cook! I used homemade cranberry sauce because it has nice whole cranberries in it.

A little too sweet for my taste but good. Be sure a drain the meat loaf before inverting onto a plate or you'll get melted cranberry sauce/brown sugar/grease mixture all over the place.

Excellant meatloaf! Although I did leave out the brown sugar, felt the cranberry sauce was enough. I used homemade cranberry sauce left from the Holidays, spread down the middle of the meatloaf. I only had one pound of extra lean ground beef so mine came out a bit smaller, but it was delicious! and held together well. Great seasonings! DH loved it too and I will be making it again, thanks for sharing.
