Best Meatloaf Ever

We've tried a few meatloaf recipes over the years, but this is by far the best.  I got this recipe from the Internet many, many years ago, but I'm not sure which website it's from.  It's called "Jodi's Meatloaf", so Jodi if you're out there, this is by far the best meatloaf!

Sauce:
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp mustard
2 Tbsp cider vinegar

Meatloaf:
2 lbs ground beef (I use a combination of veal, pork, and beef)
2 eggs
1 cup quick cooking oats or crushed cereal
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 small onion, chopped

Mix meatloaf and half the sauce together.  Place in a loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

After 40 minutes, spoon the remaining sauce over the loaf.  Continue cooking until loaf is brown.

Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans.

A Different Squash.....

I came across this type of squash that I had never seen before:  Sweet Potatoe Squash. 

It tastes exactly like it's name, a combination of Sweet Potatoe and Squash.  Yummo!



I roasted it in the oven with some butter, brown sugar and maple syrup, but honestly this baby doesn't need any additional sweetness.  They are sweet enough on their own without adding anything else.




They were short-lived though, as I went back to the store to pick up some more and sadly they were gone.
