MIMI'S MEATLOAF AND SAUCE RECIPE



Mimi's Meatloaf and Sauce Recipe image

When I was in middle school they had the most wonderful meatloaf every Wednesday. People in the school district would come just to eat lunch in the cafeteria. It was in a great tomato and vegetable sauce. I never have found anything similar so I have been trying to figure out my own version. I still haven't gotten it down,...

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 27

SAUCE INGREDIENTS
1/2 c finely chopped onion
1/3 c finely chopped green bell pepper
1/3 c finely diced celery
1 Tbsp butter
6 oz tomato paste
2 Tbsp white vinegar
5 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp allspice, ground
1 tsp salt
1 tsp molasses
1 Tbsp white corn syrup
1 c water
MEATLOAF INGREDIENTS
1/2 c prepared sauce
1 small chopped onion
1/2 small chopped bell pepper
1 stalk(s) chopped celery
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 pkg mccormick meatloaf seasoning, optional
1/4-1/2 c bread crumbs
2 large eggs, well beaten
1/2 c milk
1 tsp each garlic powder, onion powder, salt, sugar and black pepper (if you don't use mccormick seasoning packet)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. First prepare sauce: In saucepan with butter saute vegetables until tender. Then add remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a boil until sugar is dissolved. Then lower heat and keep at a very low, slow simmer while preparing meatloaf, allowing sauce to thicken.
  • 2. For meatloaf: I don't saute the vegetables for the meatloaf but you could do so if desired. Mix all ingredients for meatloaf until very well mixed. Spray a loaf pan and put meat mixture into 9 x 5 loaf pan, or you can form into a loaf and bake on a cookie sheet with sides on it. I have a pan that is a double meatloaf pan with the inserts that go in so you can take the meatloaf out of the pan easily. I just use one side and bake the meatloaf for 1 hour. Then, I use the second side for the remaining part of the cooking.
  • 3. After 1 hour remove meatloaf from oven and drain any grease, if possible. Then cover the meatloaf with most of the remaining sauce, saving some to use at the table. Finish baking the meatloaf for another 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to sit for about 10 minutes. Then serve, using the remaining sauce on each slice if desired.
