1.5 lb ground beef
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1/4 onion, chopped finely (I like it grated so I don't get any chunks)
1 tsp oregano
1 clove garlic, chopped
Salt and pepper
Sauce:
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp vinegar
1 tsp mustard
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water
*I actually double this sauce because it is so good, that we like to pour it over our mashed potatoes as well. Do whatever suits your fancy.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl, mix together ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, onion, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper and then place in a loaf pan. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, in a small saucepan heated to medium heat, combine brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, ketchup and water. Simmer for 10 minutes until the ingredients are combined and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Once the meatloaf has baked for 30 minutes, pour on sauce (or if you double the recipe, pour only half) and place back in the oven to bake for another 45 minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes and pour extra sauce over mashed potatoes and meatloaf.
