m is for meatloaf, mmmm, mmmm, meatloaf

My mother-in-law has an incredible recipe for meatloaf so I love to bust it out on crisp fall days. I think the best way to serve it is with roasted potatoes and green beans for dinner, and then use leftovers for meatloaf sandwiches (served hot on toasted and buttered hoagie buns). Both versions are great and super easy.

For the loaf:

1.5lbs leanest ground beef

1/4 cup chopped yellow onion

2/3 cup plain bread crumbs

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup milk (whole if you have it)

1/4 t pepper

1 t salt

1/2 t sage

For the sauce:
8 T brown sugar
1 cup ketchup
1/2 t nutmeg
2 t ground mustard

Gently combine first 8 ingredients in a bowl. Transfer to a loaf pan. Mix four sauce ingredients and pour over meat mixture. Bake at 350 for one hour.
