PIQUANT SAUCE FOR MEATLOAF OR VEGGIES LOAVES



Piquant Sauce for Meatloaf or Veggies Loaves image

This is a recipe my Mom always used when she made meatloaf. Use it as you would ketchup (as a topping). It is not hot...just a wee bit spicy. It is good on meatloaf or veggie loaf sandwiches. If making for a family....you may want to double recipe. I use Keen's mustard in this. If you can....grate the nutmeg....a much more pungant taste. Cooking time is resting time.

PICANTE MEATLOAF



Picante Meatloaf image

From Gramma's recipe collection. A twist on meatloaf. You can use spicier sauce if you like a bigger kick. The recipe calls for carrots, but as a kid I never knew they were there and Gramma assures me they were, so if you want your kids to eat more veggies, I suppose this is a good way to sneak them in! When I make it, I sometimes add salsa that contains black beans and corn to the loaf ingredients.

  • Use fresh, quality ingredients. The better your ingredients, the better your meatloaf will be.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.

  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help the meatloaf hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the meatloaf with a flavorful sauce. A piquant sauce, such as the one in this recipe, can really elevate the flavor of the meatloaf.
