This is a southern meatloaf. It is the only one I will eat. The sauce makes it the best. Its a little sweet and a little sour. I promise you will love it. It is great on a sandwich the next day with a little mayo and cheese. My husband makes me double this recipe and he would eat it every day if I cooked it! We always fight over the leftovers!!

  • Use a good quality sweet and sour sauce: The sweet and sour sauce is what really makes this meatloaf special, so be sure to use a good quality sauce that you enjoy. You can find sweet and sour sauce in most grocery stores, or you can make your own.
