Marvelous Meatloaf
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 lb. ground sirloin (lean)
1 can tomato sauce
1 1/2 tblsp reg. B-B-Q sauce
1 tblsp sugar
8 saltine crackers crumbled
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 med. to lg. onion diced
1 med. green pepper diced
dash garlic powder
Your favorite seasonings (to taste)
PREHEAT oven to 400 degrees.
COMBINE tomato sauce, barbecue sauce and sugar in a small sauce pan over medium heat, stirring often, until it begins to bubble then remove from heat.
POUR all but 1/2 cup of sauce in a large bowl and add meat and remaining ingredients, mixing well with your hands or wooden spoon, until all ingredients are mixed well together.
SHAPE meat into a loaf and place into a loaf pan, then with the edge of your hand make a 1/2 to 1 inch deep indentation down the middle of the loaf (lengthwise, this is to hold the remaining sauce that will be added in the last half hour of cooking). Wrap foil over the pan and place in the oven for 30 minutes.
REMOVE foil and pour remaining sauce down the middle of the loaf and bake for another 25-30 minutes or until sides have pulled away from the pan. Allow to cool a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
