Dutch Meatloaf image

I adapted this recipe from an old elementary school cookbook, making a few good-for-you substitutions. I used to make this meatloaf all of the time when I was younger--it was often requested by my parents for special dinners. You can use any type of ground beef, chicken, or turkey you'd like -- it tastes just as good!

Time 1h50m

Yield 1 loaf, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs extra lean ground beef
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 (8 ounce) can low-sodium tomato sauce
1 cup homemade breadcrumbs, preferably whole wheat
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup water
1 (8 ounce) can low-sodium tomato sauce
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons white vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Using a large spoon, combine onion, 8-oz tomato sauce, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper.
  • Add ground beef, mixing with hands.
  • Form into a loaf and place into a casserole dish, preferrably one with a lid. I like to poke a few holes into the top of the loaf so some of the sauce can get down into the loaf itself.
  • In a bowl, whisk together water, 8-oz tomato sauce, mustard, brown sugar, and vinegar.
  • Pour half of the mixture over the loaf. Cover the casserole dish with the lid, and bake the meatloaf for 1 1/2 hours. Baste at least once.
  • Pour the remaining mixture into a saucepan and bring to a simmer, allow sauce to reduce until about as thick as tomato sauce. This takes about 20 minutes.
  • Allow meatloaf to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Pour thickened sauce over slices to serve.
