Sausage Meatloaf OAMC

Hwin's Note:

I grew up on this meatloaf, and I love it. It's always a hit with company. My supposedly "vegetarian" friend eats it up every time I make it. Serve with mashed potatoes.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 35 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Directions:

1. Combine ground beef, sausage, celery, onion, saltines, and eggs together and form into 2 loaves.
2. Bake covered at 350 degress Fahrenheit in stoneware for 45 to 75 minutes(depending on the shape of your loaves and desired doneness). Drain grease.
3. For the sauce, combine tomato sauce, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.

Lovr the addition of ground sausage. It really gave this an extra good taste. The sauce was great too, I did add a tad brown sugar since I wanted to finish the bag. It was devoured in one meal by us. Made for PRMR tag.

A really simple and very tasty meatloaf. I'm not sure that Saltines exist here in Oz,so I used Saladas,and it worked out fine. We really enjoyed the addition of the sausage meat,as it gave the whole thing a different dimension.I cut the sauce measurements in half,but still has loads of it,so may well reduce that further next time. A good family meal,that we all enjoyed (even the two under five's!!)...thanks for posting..it's a keeper!
