This is an old, old recipe that is comfort food at its best. It doesn't have any weird or exotic flavor combos. It's just good food. Serve with mashed potatoes

How to make it

Combine all ingredients. Mix gently until all ingredients are combined. Overworked meat will become tough. Form into a loaf and bake at 350 for about one hour or until 165 degrees. About 5 minutes before removing from oven cover with sauce. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing to serve. Reserve additional sauce to use as gravy with mashed potatoes. NOTE: Veggies can be lightly sauteed, if desired.
Sauce: Combine all ingredients and bring to heat. Let flavors marry. Do not cook for more than 5 minutes.
If you are cooking for yourself or a couple of people, or pressed for time, consider cooking these in muffin pans. Individual servings for everyone and cooking time is greatly reduced. Leftovers can be frozen, or just halve the recipe.

This was a great meatloaf. I have tried many and this had good reviews from a 12 year old boy so I would call it a success!

Excellent, i'm not much of a cook, i'm pregnant and just really wanted a good, hearty meatloaf. This one was great, I loved the idea from someone else to use a muffin pan. We did, baked it at 350 for approx. 30 min. I added a little square of swiss cheese on each mini meatloaf at the end along with the topping and baked another 5 min. YUM, this one will be repeated, both hubby and I love that its so quick!

This was very good! I made it exactly as written! The only thing I would do differently next time is to saute all the veggies before adding it to the meat so that they wouldn't be as crunchy. But that's just a personal preference. I added a photo.

This was the best meatloaf we have tried! Neither tough nor dry, and the sauce was not dried out to nothing in the oven. Thanks!
