Aunt Libby's Southern Meatloaf
This my 86-year-old Aunt Libby's home-made meatloaf recipe. I finally had her write it down for me last year. You can be sure no one will tell you this meatloaf is dry!
ground beef
2
pounds
onion, chopped
1
ketchup
1
cup
Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
1
cup
eggs
2
salt
1 ½
teaspoons
ground black pepper
¼
teaspoon
ketchup
1 ½
cups
water
¼
cup
white wine vinegar
3
tablespoons
brown sugar
3
tablespoons
Dijon mustard
2
tablespoons
Worcestershire sauce
2
teaspoons
 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  Mix beef, onion, 1 cup ketchup, bread crumbs, eggs, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Press beef mixture into a loaf in the prepared loaf pan.
  Mix 1 1/2 cups ketchup, water, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce together in a saucepan; cook and stir over medium heat until sauce is smooth and warm, about 10 minutes. Pour 1/3 the sauce over meatloaf.
  Bake in the preheated oven, basting every 25 minutes with more sauce, until meatloaf is cooked through, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.
