Meat Loaf

By North Star



This mixture makes one large meatloaf, two small meatloaves or 8 individual meatloaves. This also makes wonderful stuffed peppers. Small loaves should be placed in circle fashion to cook. Remember, they will take less time than a large loaf to cook.

2 lbs. lean ground beef
1 1/2 cups seasoned bread stuffing crumbs
3 eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 cup katsup
1/3 cup warm water
1 (3 oz.) package dehydrated onion soup mix
1 teaspoon creamed horseradish
2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon seasoned pepper
4 oz. tomato sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar

Mix beef and stuffing mix. Stir in eggs, tomato katsup, water, soup mix, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce and pepper. Mix well and form into a ring or narrow loaf. Place on rack, in microwave colander, or in casserole. Cook for 15-24 minutes at Medium-high power (70%), or until meat begins to brown. Drain off fat and top meatloaf with tomato/brown sugar mixture. Microwave another 3-5 minutes, or until meat is no longer pink. Let stand a few minutes before serving.
