Dutch Meat Loaf

I don't make meatloaf that often, but when I do, this is usually the one I make.
  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 8 oz can tomato sauce (divided)
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1 chopped bell pepper
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Sauce:
  • Remaining tomato sauce
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons yellow or brown mustard
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
Combine meat, bread crumbs, half the tomato sauce, egg, oinion, bell pepper, salt and pepper; mix with hands and shape into loaf. Place in shallow baking dish. Combine sauce ingredients, whisk and pour over loaf. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
