Tomato Crusted Meatloaf
This classic homemade meatloaf gets a flavorful upgrade with Bauman’s tomato butter. As it bakes, the tomato butter caramelizes to form a rich, slightly sweet crust that locks in moisture and adds deep tomato flavor to every slice.

Ingredients
- 1½ pounds ground beef
- ¾ cup old fashioned oats
