Yes, Virginia There is a Great Meatloaf

By carolync

Absolutely delicious meatloaf and sauce! Those who claim they don't believe there can be such a thing as a great meatloaf will love this. Based on a meatloaf given to me by a dear friend, Virginia Strehl, Memphis, and Leesburg, Fla. Nita Holleman, 2000

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef (ground shoulder roast is good)
• 1 slice bread (broken or chopped finely)
• 1 egg
• 1 small vidalia onions or 1 small type sweet onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon table salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 tablespoons ketchup
• 1/2-2/3 cup whole milk or 1/2-2/3 cup half-and-half
• SAUCE
• 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 -4 tablespoons dark brown sugar, packed firm (to taste)
• 1/2 cup ketchup

Preparation

Step 1

1 Meatloaf: Combine meat loaf ingredients and place into a loaf baking dish. 2 Smooth out top. 3 Sauce: Combine sauce ingredients and pour on top and sides of meatloaf.

4 Bake at 350°F about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until done.

*The addition of or 2 teaspoons of Kitchen Bouquet® makes this recipe very good. **Recipe should be"plump" from the addition of the milk or Half & Half. It should NOT be runny. ***A second batch of sauce served hot is good to serve with the meatloaf.
