sweet and sour meatloaf
(1 rating)
I found this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine quite a few years ago. My two boys just loved it when they were growing up, and when you find something that the kids like you tend to stick with it. It's one of those keepers. The only change that I made to the recipe is that I use 1 Tablespoon of vinegar in the sauce instead of 2. This is such a simple recipe, and you could make it in the morning or the night before, come home from work and pop it in the oven. If it's been refrigerated, you might need to cook it a few minutes more. And you can mix the sauce and keep it in the fridge also. It's the sauce that makes this recipe, although the meatloaf smells delicious cooking.
