Amish Meat Loaf
2 lb. ground beef
2-1/2 cups crushed butter flavored crackers (i.e., Ritz, Waverly etc.)
1 small onion, chopped
2 eggs
3/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 slices bacon
1 cup ketchup
2 TB vinegar
3/4 tsp. salt, or to taste
2 TB prepared yellow mustard
1/2 cup brown sugar
Preheat the oven to 350ยบ F.
In a medium bowl, mix together ground beef, crushed
crackers, onion, eggs, 3/4 cup ketchup, and 1/4 cup brown sugar
until well blended. Press into a 9" x 5" loaf pan. Lay the
two slices of bacon over the top.
Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until cooked
through. While the loaf bakes, mix together the remaining
one cup ketchup, vinegar, salt, mustard and 1/2 cup brown sugar.
Spread over the top of the meat loaf for the last 15 minutes
of baking.
Makes 1 loaf (9" x 5") 8 servings.
****** Notes....I did not use as much ketchup as the recipe called for....in the meat mixture I only used 1/2 cup instead of 3/4 cup...In the topping mixture I only used about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of ketchup. I think you could really make up only 1/2 of the topping recipe...I only used about half of what I made up.
