1
When mixed well, pick up and toss into bowl a few times to pack mixture together.
2
Form into loaf shape in cast-iron skillet which has been sprayed with cooking spray (Pam) and smear remaining tomato sauce/Tabasco over top of meat loaf.

(I use a skillet so I can make gravy in the same pan after the meat loaf is done.)

5
Look at it now and then and if the pan is dry, add a little water.
6
