MMMMmmm..Mom's Meatloaf

Alright, the word "meatloaf" itself isn't exactly the most appealing word on any menu, unless you grew up in my household. To the Wroblewski family, "meatloaf" meant melt in your mouth, comfort food greatness...in a loaf. Here is a fantastic recipe, derived from my Mom's kitchen.

Ingredients:
2 lbs. ground beef chuck
3 - 4 cups bread crumbs
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 eggs
3 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 - 8 oz. can tomato sauce
2 Tablespoons vinegar
6 Tablespoons brown sugar
4 heaping tsp. prepared mustard
4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1. Mix ground chuck, bread crumbs, 1 tomato sauce can, onion, egg, salt and pepper together in bowl.
2. Form into loaf and put in shallow "bread loaf" pan.
3. Using the end of a wooden spoon, poke holes into the meat. This allows the sauce to run into the meat mixture, helping to remain moist while baking.
4. Combine remaining ingredients, beginning with second can of tomato sauce, to create sauce.
5. Pour sauce over the top of your meatloaf.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Please note if using a glass pan, temperature should be 325.
7. Enjoy with a side of your favorite mashed potatoes!

This dish is one of Andy's favorites, in fact, this may be the only reason he kept me around....I owe you one, Mom!
