Maw-Maw's Meatloaf With Secret Sauce

Submitted by FACS Teacher

"This recipe was original brought to us by my aunt when she lived in Germany, but my grandmother always used to make it for us. My 4-year old daughter loves this recipe and begs to mix up the "secret sauce." Hope you enjoy it as much as we do."

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

4. Shape into a loaf and put into a microwave-safe baking dish.
5. Add ketchup and tomato juice around meat.
6. Put meatloaf in microwave for 15 minutes, then transfer to oven for 20-30 minutes.

8. I pour half over the meatloaf and set aside the rest for my family to add more themselves.
