DIRECTIONS
|
|
1:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large skillet over medium heat on the stove-top, melt the butter and cook the chopped onion and garlic, until the onion turns translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning. Turn off the heat and season with the salt and pepper.
|
|
|
|
2:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sauteed onion and garlic with the beef, crumbled bread, crushed crackers, egg, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 can of the tomato sauce.
|
|
|
|
3:
Add the milk about a tablespoon at a time to the mixture, until the consistency is moist but not saturated. Place the mixture in a loaf pan and bake for 40 minutes uncovered. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Continue baking the meatloaf until the internal temperature reaches 160 F, about 15 minutes.

|
4:
In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 can of the tomato sauce and ketchup. Pour the tomato mixture over the top of the meatloaf, and bake for 10 minutes. Serve warm.
