Wonderful Meatfoaf
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup minced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds extra-lean ground beef
3 slices bread, toasted and crumbled
7 buttery round crackers, crushed
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 1/2 tablespoons sour cream
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, divided
1/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons ketchup
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)!.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion and garlic 5 minutes, until onion is tender!. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper!. In a large bowl, mix the onion and garlic, beef, crumbled bread, crushed crackers, egg, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 can tomato sauce!. Gradually stir in the milk 1 teaspoon at a time until mixture is moist, but not soggy!. Transfer the mixture to a 5x9 inch loaf pan!. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven 40 minutes!. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), and continue baking 15 minutes, to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C)!. In a small bowl, mix the remaining tomato sauce and ketchup!. Pour over the top of the meatloaf, and continue baking 10 minutes!.
(the only thing I did different is I happened not to have any tomato sauce so I replaced it all with ketchup!. It turned out so well I just use ketchup each time now!.)
As far as what I serve with meatloaf!. We have either a green salad, english peas or green beans!. (I love a meatloaf sandwich so I cook extra for the next day)

And I like my meatloafs with mashed potatoes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
here's a great meatloaf recipe with just 5 ingredients: mix together about 1!.5-2 lbs ground beef, an egg, a packet of onion soup mix, a generous squirt of ketchup, and a few handfuls of seasoned bread crumbs!. shape into a loaf & bake at 375 for about an hour!.
for sides, i like baked potatoes - just poke holes in potatoes with a fork & bake them on the oven rack next to the meatloaf pan (takes the same time, about an hour at 375)!. mashed potatoes would be great too, and some kind of rice might be nice as well!.
for a vegetable, i like steamed broccoli or green beans!.
hope this helps! :-)Www@FoodAQ@Com
