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.
Voila! Now, go off and make Meatloaf! But don't forget the final step - inviting me to dinner! Ha!
