• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan. Combine all the ingredients except the tomato sauce in a large bowl. Place the meat mixture in the loaf pan and bake for 55 minutes. Pour off the drippings and bake for 10 minutes longer to brown. Remove from the oven and pour the tomato sauce over the top to serve.

Tomato Sauce:
Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a small, heavy saucepan. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve warm with the meatloaf.
