Here is my secret meatloaf recipe that won't be a secret anymore..lol:

2# meatloaf mix (veal/pork/beef) you can get this at the store or butcher
1 cup crushed buttery round crackers
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (1 ounce) packet of Lipton onion soup mix
2 eggs beaten
1/4 cup ketchup
2T Worcestershire Sauce

preheat oven to 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C
in a large bowl stir together meat mixture, crushed crackers, cheddar cheese and onion soup mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl stir together eggs, ketchup and sauce until smooth. Stir the egg mixture into the meat mixture. Shape into a loaf and place in a 9x5 loaf pan

TOPPING:
1/2 can (7oz) tomato sauce
2T brown sugar
2T cider vinegar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tsp. prepared mustard

In a small saucepan over medium heat combine all and bring to boil - remove from heat. After about 30-40 minutes pour over meat loaf mixture and return to oven to bake until done for about 20 minutes more.

Bake in preheated oven 45 to 60 minutes but I always use a thermometer and when it gets to 175 degrees you are good to go - since every oven is different and sometimes the meatloaf takes more than one hour.

Let the meatloaf sit for at least 5-10 minutes before slicing or removing from pan.

Enjoy
