Sweet and Sour Meatloaf image

This is a southern meatloaf. It is the only one I will eat. The sauce makes it the best. Its a little sweet and a little sour. I promise you will love it. It is great on a sandwich the next day with a little mayo and cheese. My husband makes me double this recipe and he would eat it every day if I cooked it! We always fight over the leftovers!!

  • I always like garlic in everything so I usually put in a bit.
  • Make into a loaf.
  • Put in a loaf pan or a dish that will leave some room on sides.
  • I like lots of sauce so I put mine in a corning dish with room all the way around.
  • For Sauce: Pour tomato sauce in same mixing bowl.
  • Add all your remaining ingredients.
  • If you like it a little sweeter, add more sugar.
  • A little more sour, add more vinegar.
  • I usually put in quite a bit more Worcestershire sauce.
  • Mix well and pour over meatloaf.
  • Cook covered in oven for about 35 minutes, depending on altitude and oven intensity.
  • Keep checking it.
  • Insert a knife into the middle to check for doneness.
  • This recipe is served best with Mashed Taters and corn.
  • You mush em all together and it's delicious.
