Ingredients to make Best Meatloaf Recipe
1 lb ground sirloin
1/2 lb hot Italian sausage
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded fancy (thin)
1 cup bread crumbs, dry
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 eggs
3 tsp dried minced onion
3 tsp minced garlic
2 (15oz) can tomato sauce
4 TBS brown sugar, packed
4 TBS cider vinegar
1 cup white sugar
4 tsp yellow mustard
Directions to make Best Meatloaf Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl combine the beef, sausage, cheese, bread crumbs, sea salt, pepper, eggs, onion flakes, and 1/2 of one of the 15oz cans of tomato sauce. Mix together carefully – not to overwork the meat, as it will toughen it. Pat into a loaf and place in a large casserole dish. Bake for 45 minutes.
In the meantime, in a saucepan over medium heat; combine the remaining tomato sauce and 1/2 of the unopened can. (You will have 1/2 of a can of sauce leftover that will not be used in this recipe) Add the brown sugar, vinegar, white sugar, and mustard. Bring to a slow boil and remove from the heat.
After the meatloaf is done, remove from the oven and carefully drain the fat from the pan. Now pour the sauce over the top of the meatloaf. Return to the oven and reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake an additional 20 minutes. Let sit for five minutes before serving.
