Meat Loaf Sauce

Hubby LOVES meat loaf - he prefers a red sauce on top.  His grandmother's recipes, posted here before, do not include the topping I use.  Simple enough - mix the following and spoon over the meat loaf before baking.

3/4 Cup Ketchup
1/2 Cup Light Brown Sugar

Doggie Meat Loaf

Sometimes, to give my dogs a break from canned food, I make this meat loaf.

1 Lb Ground Turkey
16 Ounce Frozen Mixed Vegetables
2 Large Eggs

Heat oven to 350 Degrees.  Grease the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan with olive oil.  Set aside.

Cook the vegetables 1/2 the time indicated on the package.  Drain well.  Mix with turkey and eggs, press into pan.  Bake for 35 to 45 minutes.

Dorothy Thomas Meatloaf

I found two recipes for meatloaf in the recipes my mother in law shared with me.  This one was the most heavily used.  On the recipe card, it is attributed to Mary P.  When I talked to my mother in law, she told me that Mary was a neighbor and friend of the family. 

2 lbs ground beef
2 Tbl Horseradish
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup milk
2 cups bread crumbs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dry mustard
3/4 cup onion
1/4 cup green pepper
2 eggs

400 degrees, 35 minutes

That is it, everything that was on the recipe card.  Here is some additional detail:

I only used 1/4 cup onion due to allergies.

This makes a LARGE meat loaf, so to get it to cook in that time frame, you should divide it between two pans or cook it in a large, flat pan, such as a round cake pan.
