Meatloaf

This is my stepsister Andrea's meatloaf recipe. She brought some over when Mariah was born and we all really liked it but we especially found out that Elijah LOVES it. He ate 3 helpings of it 2 days in a row. I'm making it tonight for supper and Elijah is so excited! We like it because it's very saucy and it's a sweet ketchupy sauce. It also doesn't have onions and green pepper in it and so it passes all the boys' (including Brent's) inspection. Enjoy!

1 ½ lbs hamburger

1 cup dry bread crumbs

1 tsp salt

¼ tsp blk pepper

2 eggs

1 tsp dried minced onion

1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

½ cup white sugar

2 tsp mustard

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a large bowl, combine the beef, bread crumbs, salt, blk pepper, eggs, onion flakes and ½ of the can of tomato sauce. Mix together well and place into a 5x9 inch loaf pan.

Push the meatloaf down into the pan forming a well for the sauce around all edges.

Bake at 350 for 40 mins.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining tomato sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, white sugar and mustard. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.

After meatloaf has cooked for 40 min, remove from oven and pour sauce over the top of the meatloaf.

Return to oven and bake at 350 for 20 more min. Let sit 5 min before removing from pan.
