I was a wash-out in the Meatloaf Department for years. Any time I mentioned it, I was taken out to dinner. Then I found this recipe and my family looks forward to meatloaf now:
Beth’s Sweet and Sour Meatloaf
1-1/2 lbs ground beef
1/2 c dry bread crumbs
1 t salt
1/4 t pepper
2 eggs
1 t minced onion
1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce, divided
Topping
2 T brown sugar
2 T vinegar or lemon juice
1/2 c sugar
2 t prepared mustard
Mix together the ground beef, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and eggs. Add onions and 1/2 of the tomato sauce. Form into load in 9x5x3 pan. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes.
In a saucepan, combine toppig ingredients, bring to a boil. Pour over meatloaf and bake for 10 more minutes.
Note: I cut the meatloaf in slices in the pan, and then pour on the topping and put back in the oven. I like the way it gets down between the slices.
With the Tomato’s getting bigger every day, you gotta try this one. It rocks!!!
Tomato Pie
1 pie shell (baked for 10 minutes at 375.
4-5 tomatos, peeled and sliced**
1/2 t salt
1/2 t garlic powder
1/2 t black pepper
1 t dried basil (fresh or dried, your choice)
1-1/2 c shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 c mayonnaise
Mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder and basin in a bowl. After baking the pie shell, layer 1/2 sliced tomatoes and sprinkle with the seasoning mixture. Add another layer of tomatoes and the rest of the seasoning. Mix the cheese with the mayonnaise and spread on top of the pie.
Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.
**Some people peel, core, cut in half and squeese out the juice before slicing them. I didn’t and didn’t have a problem.
