Sweet & Sour Meatloaf
Sweet & Sour Meat Loaf
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1 c. dry bread crumbs
1 teaspoon salt
¼ tsp. black pepper
2 eggs
1 – 15 oz. can tomato sauce
2 T. brown sugar
2 T. cider vinegar
½ c. white sugar
2 tsp. prepared mustard
This is a great recipe for doubling and putting one in the freezer. Also, the leftovers make fantastic meatloaf sandwiches.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, salt, ground black pepper, eggs, and 1/2 of the can of tomato sauce. Mix together well and place into a 5×9 inch loaf pan.
Push the meatloaf down into the pan forming a well for the sauce around all the edges.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining tomato sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, white sugar and mustard. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
After meatloaf has cooked for 40 minutes, remove from oven and pour sauce over the top of the meatloaf.
Return to oven and bake at 350 degrees for 20 more minutes. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.

Do you freeze before or after baking? What about the sauce?
I sometimes freeze before baking and sometimes after. Probably more often, I freeze before baking because then I don’t have to wait for it to cool before I can stick it in the freezer.
If you freeze it after (I am making 2 tonight) how do you deal with the sauce?
Can I freeze it in the foil pan? Just wrapped in foil?
I mean’t if you freeze it before baking, how do you deal with the sauce?
YUMMY!! This is now on my “must try” list
