Meatloaf

I so much prefer the colder weather and being able to turn on the oven without sweating away in the kitchen. So here is the meatloaf recipe from our recipe book.

Meatloaf

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef

1/2 c. fresh bread crumbs

1 onion, finely chopped

1 egg

salt and pepper

1 (16oz) can tomato sauce

3 T. brown sugar

2 T. prepared mustard

1/2 c. water

2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

3 T. vinegar

My favorite way to make meatloaf is shaped on a cookie sheet like this. It cooks fast and all the fat runs off to the side.

Mix beef, crumbs, onion, egg, salt, pepper and 1/4 cup tomato sauce. Shape into loaf pan (or on a cookie sheet like I did). Combine remaining tomato sauce and the rest of the ingredients and pour over the meat loaf. Bake at 350 for 1 1/2 hours. It takes about half the time on the cookie sheet - depending on how thick you shape your loaf.
