Recipe Talk

It looks like you have alot of the Great American Recipes cards, so I was wondering if you could help me out on a meatloaf recipe of theirs? All that I remember is that I put ketchup and something else mixed together on the top. If you can help me I'd really appreciate it. I haven't been able to find mine for the last couple of years. Thanks!
