Sweet Meatloaf

1. 1

   Cut up the onion, carrot, celery and bellpepper and put it in a frying pan with water on medium to cook until it is soft and the onion starts to look a little translucient. If you need to add a little more water that is okay but when you add them to the ground beef mixture DO NOT add any liquid that is left. I turn them off to cool a bit while I start adding the other ingredients in a bowl.

2. 2

   In a large bowl mix the ground beef, crackers(or saltines). Make sure you crush the crackers real good. Add the eggs, 3/4 ketchup, 1/4 brown sugar and the veggies that you cooked. Mix together until blended.

3. 3

   Press together into a square pan. I use a larger pan instead of a meatloaf pan because I sometimes will add a little bit more meat and I like the room for the sauce.

4. 4

   Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees in a preheated oven. While the meatloaf is cooking mix together the ingredients for the sauce, 1 cup ketcup, salt, mustard and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.

5. 5

   After 1 hour drain any excess grease from your pan and add the sauce on top and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
