Absolutely delicious meatloaf and sauce! Those who claim they don't believe there can be such a thing as a great meatloaf will love this. Based on a meatloaf given to me by a dear friend, Virginia Strehl, Memphis, and Leesburg, Fla. Nita Holleman, 2000 Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground beef (ground shoulder roast is good) |
1 slice bread (broken or chopped finely) |
1 egg |
1 small vidalia onions or 1 small type sweet onion, finely chopped |
1 teaspoon table salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
4 tablespoons ketchup |
1/2-2/3 cup whole milk or 1/2-2/3 cup half-and-half |
4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar |
2 -4 tablespoons dark brown sugar, packed firm (to taste) |
1/2 cup ketchup |
Directions:
1. Meatloaf: Combine meat loaf ingredients and place into a loaf baking dish.
2. Smooth out top.
3. Sauce: Combine sauce ingredients and pour on top and sides of meatloaf.
4. Bake at 350°F about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until done.
5. ENJOY!
6. *The addition of 1 or 2 teaspoons of Kitchen Bouquet® makes this recipe very good.
7. **Recipe should be plump from the addition of the milk or Half & Half.
8. It should NOT be runny.
9. ***A second batch of sauce served hot is good to serve with the meatloaf.
10. Nita's Note: I note that some of you are using game meat such as deer - Deer is a very DRY meat. It is wise to HAVE some fat added to the deer - especially to ground deer. Maybe 25 % fat, ( I recommend 1 lb of ground venison, and 1/2 lb of deer sausage for fat content), otherwise your results will be poor. I don't know about some of the other game meat some are using. Please consult and expert. The recipe is delicious as it stands! Enjoy! Nita Holleman.
