Sweet and Sour Meatloaf Recipe - Cooking in Wichita, KS!

Sweet and Sour Meatloaf - Just like Mom used to make, sorta!


Those of you who know me are probably spewing pop out of your nose at the idea of me posting a recipe! Ha! Just because I happen to know how to burn water doesn't mean that I'm not married to someone who can do more than push Start on a microwave!

This recipe was one of my Mom's and happens to be my favorite meal. It was very often requested for parties, where she did a Meatball version. Meatball making is time-consuming work, so the preferred method is now a Meatloaf, but it's yummy yummy nonetheless! Evertime I mention he cooked this for me, I'm asked for the recipe!

Here you go!

Ingredients

1 egg 1 1/2 lbs beef 2/3 c Cracker crumbs
1/3 c chopped onions/green peppers (optional) 1 1/2 t salt 1/4 t ginger
1/4 c milk 2 Tbs cornstarch 1/2 C dark brown sugar
1 20 oz can pineapple tidbits in heavy syrup 1/3 c vinegar 1 Tbs soy sauce



Directions

Mix egg, beef, crumbs, salt, ginger, milk, and any chopped veggies. Shape into a loaf pan or 1/12 quart dish and bake at 400° for 1 hour or until done.

In a bowl, mix cornstarch and sugar, then stir in the pineapple juice from the can, vinegar, and soy sauce until smooth. Pour in a skillet and cook over medium heat stirring constantly until it thickens and boils. Boil and stir for 1 minute, then add in the pineapple tidbits.

Serve meatloaf slices over white rice with the pineapple/sauce mixture poured over.
