Answers: Hi. My grandmother used to make this wonderful sauce for her meatloaf and I am now trying to find a recipe for it. She has passed away many years ago so I can't ask her. I know it was red (i'm guessing tomato) and she also used the drippings from the meatloaf in it. All the cooking websites don't know what I am talking about, does anyone here know or maybe have a recipe for it?

Thanks.

Do you remember any distinct flavor to it?

I have seen a lot of recipes calling for a can of Tomato soup, a can of water and a little corn starch added to the pan drippings after the meatloaf is removed and stirred until thickened.

My whole family uses Hunts tomato sauce in my opinion it is the best sauce for Meatloaf.

I have made a tomato gravy with my meatloaf before...this may be something close? I would just use 2 tablespoons of drippings in place of the olive oil...

1/2 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 bay leaf
1 (15-ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Cook the onions, garlic, and oregano in the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste and bay leaf. Stir until paste turns brick red and garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook sauce until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Whisk in Parmesan cheese, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Discard the bay leaf and serve over meatloaf.

My grandmother always used to use ketchup and brown sugar.

You could try, frying some onions without browning and use tinned tomatoes and tomato puree, use some garlic in there.. and if you want a smooth sauce, just put it in a blender.. Sorry, best I could off the top of my head...

Try this one - my family adores it:) It's not what you asked for - but you could double the glaze and reserve 1/2 and add some meat drippings to it.
