Preheat the oven to 350℉ (180℃). Lightly oil a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
In a small bowl, combine the cranberry sauce and brown sugar. Place the cranberry sauce mixture in the bottom of the prepared loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients except the bay leaves and mix well. Set the meatloaf mixture in the pan on top of the sauce.
Top the loaf with the bay leaves and bake for 1½ hours or until done. 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.

I've been searching for a small recipe booklet that I got years ago, to no avail. A recipe very similar to this, if not identical, was in it, and it was absolutely delicious. This was a very special find. Thank you!
