1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. In a small bowl, combine the cranberry sauce and brown sugar.

2

Place the cranberry sauce mixture in the bottom of the prepared loaf pan.

3

In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients (except bay leaves) and mix well. Set the meat loaf mixture in the pan on top of the sauce.

4

Top loaf with bay leaves and bake 1½ hours or until done.

5

Allow the loaf to cool for 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaves. Very carefully turn the loaf onto a serving plate so that the sauce side is up. Drizzle the pan juices over the loaf.
