Moms Sweet & Sour Meatloaf

Sauce:
2 small cans tomato sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 onion chopped
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 cup brown sugar

Mix all sauce ingredients together in bowl, set aside!.


Ingredients (Meatloaf):
2 pounds ground beef
1/2 chopped onion
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup or more if needed, quick oatmeal (not instant)
1 teaspoon garlic salt

In another bowl add ground beef, 1/2 chopped onion, egg, oatmeal, garlic salt, pepper, and 1/3 of the sauce mixture!. Mix together well!.

Place in pan, making space between meat and pan around edges with fingers!. Flatten top, spread more sauce over top and cook 1 hour, at 350F!. Drain off grease half way (30 min) and add more sauce!. Reserve some sauce for adding when served!. The oatmeal disappears, is healthy and you can't taste it!. It just holds it together better!. Add more if you need it!.

The best meatloaf is one that is crispy on the outside and butter inside!. the Best way to accomplish that is to NOT use a loaf pan and to cook your veggies before you incorporate them into the mix!. This allows the flavors to be released and not become steamed inside the loaf!.
also be sure not to over-mix the beef otherwise it will become tough!.

salad oil
1 carrot, small to medium dice
2 stalks celery, small to medium dice
1 medium onion, small to medium dice
2 pounds ground beef
2 eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Dash hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
Dash Worcestershire sauce
3 slices bread
1/2 cup seasoned Italian bread crumbs
Ketchup

Preheat oven at 375 degrees F!.
In a medium-sized saute pan, put 2 dribbles of salad oil and heat over medium-high heat!.
Add the carrots, celery, and onions and saute, about 5 minutes!. Put aside and let cool!.

In large bowl put the carrot mixture, ground beef and remaining ingredients, except for the bread, the bread crumbs and ketchup!. Soak the bread in cold water, then squeeze water out (like a sponge) and drain it!. Add to the ground beef and mix!. (A stand mixer is may help make it easier)!. Add the bread crumbs and mix!. Roll into firm loaf, spread ketchup over the top, and place into preheated oven for approximately 45 to 55 minutes, or until cooked through!. Take out and serve hot!.
