Meatloaf or Meatloaf?

I've never been a meatloaf fan but have recently come across two excellent recipes.  The first is from a family member of Brittany's who makes everything from scratch, including pasta noodles, so you know it has to be good! It is a sweet-n-sour meatloaf. The second comes from my beloved Paula Deen Cookbook, Aunt Peggy's Old Fashioned Meat Loaf. 

Sweet-n-Sour Meatloaf

1 1/2 pounds ground beef

1 cup dry bread crumbs

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

2 eggs

1 tsp minced onion

1 - 15oz can of tomato sauce - halved

1. Mix ground beef, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, eggs together.

2. Add onion and 1/2 of the tomato sauce

3. Form into loaf (9x15x13 pan)

4. Bake for 50 minutes at 350 degrees

During the last 5-10 minutes, mix together the following ingredients for the sauce:

The remaining half of the tomato sauce

2 tbsp brown sugar

2 tbsp vinegar

1/2 cup white sugar

2 tsp yellow mustard

Bring those ingredients to a boil.  Take meatloaf out of oven, drain the fat off the top of the meatloaf and then  stab with a fork in a few places so the sauce will soak into meatloaf.  Pour the sauce over the meatloaf, reserve some for dipping if desired.  Bake an additional 10 minutes.  SOOOO YUMMY!!!

Aunt Peggy's Old-Fashioned Meat Loaf

1 pound ground beef

1-6oz ounce can tomato paste

1/2 cup chopped vidalia onion

1/2 cup chopped green onion

1/2 cup quick cooking oats

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar

1 tablespoon dijon mustard

1. Preheat oven to 375. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, tomato paste, onion, green pepper, oats, egg, salt and pepper.  Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a 9x5 loaf pan.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar and mustard. Slather the glaze on top of the meatloaf and bake for 1 hour or until the meat loaf is firm and cooked all the way through. Serve hot!  DELICIOUS!!!
