"Received this recipe from a former co-worker several years ago. This has turned out to be my husband's favorite meatloaf...very moist and tangy! This is also a way to sneak more veggies into your children's diet!"

ingredients

2 - 2 ¹⁄₂ lbs hamburger (I usually purchase 80% lean)
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon pepper
1 medium onion, minced
1 carrot, grated fine
1 green pepper, minced (optional)
2 slices bread, toasted in your toaster and cubed
¹⁄₂ cup milk
Sauce
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons sugar
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons vinegar
1 small onion, minced
1 tablespoon butter
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
¹⁄₂ cup catsup
¹⁄₄ cup water

directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
After toasting and cubing your bread, soak it in the milk.
Mix remainder of meatloaf ingredients together well.
Add toast cubes/milk and mix lightly.
Place meatloaf into a loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour or until a meat thermometer inserted reads 160 degrees.
Prepare the sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer while meatloaf is cooking.
When meatloaf is thoroughly cooked, remove any extra fat that has accumulated in the loaf pan and slice into serving size pieces.
Pour sauce over and let stand for about 10 minutes.
Make sure to get the sauce in between the slices.
Serve and enjoy!
