Ingredients

Meatloaf:

• 1 lb ground beef (lean)
• 1 lb sausage stuffing
• 1 c breadcrumbs (fine)
• 2 onions (med, finely chopped)
• 1 tb curry powder
• 1/2 c water
• 1 tb parsley (chopped)
• 1 egg (beaten)
• 1 c clove (crushed)
• 1/2 c milk
• salt and pepper to taste

Sauce:

• 1 onion (very finely chopped)
• 1/4 c water
• 1/2 c ketchup
• 1/4 c dry red wine OR beef stock
• 1/4 c Worcestershire sauce (Lea & Perrins)
• 2 tb vinegar
• 1 tb instant coffee
• 1/4 c brown sugar (packed)
• 1 oz margarine
• 2 ts lemon juice

Instructions:

Combine meats, breadcrumbs, onions, salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, curry, and egg in large bowl.  Mix well. Mix milk and water and add to meat mixture a little at a time until smooth but firm.  Shape into loaf and put into greased baking pan.  Bake 30 minutes at 375.

For the sauce, saute onions in margarine until golden and add all other ingredients.  Bring slowly to a boil, lower heat and simmer 10 to 15 minutes.  After loaf has cooked for 30 minutes, pour half of the sauce over the meat, return to oven, and bake 45 minutes more, basting often with remaining sauce.  Serve loaf hot in thick slices with remaining sauce.  Also makes great sandwiches.

Serves 8.
