Sweet and Sour Meat Loaf

It is another Monday, and I want to say “Thank You” to all who come by and take the time to read this blog.  It is truly appreciated, and I hope what you find here is useful to you.

I had to work an extra night last week, so decided to make a meat loaf for hubby to warm up for dinner.  This is a new recipe that has been in my computer files forever.

Using different mustards in this will give the sauce a slightly different flavor each time.

I make my meat loaves free form in a 7x11-inch pan so that a sauce topping can be  used.  I did not get a chance to take a photo before the meatloaf had been sliced so the pic is not a particularly good one.  What is there about meat that it just doesn’t photograph very well?

Sweet and Sour Meat Loaf
1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
1 c. dry bread crumbs
1 t.  salt
1 t. poultry seasoning
1/4  t. pepper
2  eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 c. finely chopped onion or 2 T. instant chopped dried onion
1 can (15 oz.) tomato sauce -- divided
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
3 T. brown sugar
2 T. rice or wine vinegar
2 t. prepared mustard

Mix together beef, bread crumbs, salt, poultry seasoning, pepper and eggs. Add onion, half of the tomato sauce and the Worcestershire sauce.  Form into a loaf shape and place in a baking pan.  I use a 7x11-inch glass one.  Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. In saucepan, combine sugar, vinegar, mustard and remaining tomato sauce. Bring to a boil. Pour over meat loaf and bake 10 minutes more.  Serves 6 to 8.
