Self- Glazing Meat Loaf
List of Ingredients
1 cup V-8 Juice Cocktail
3 slices bread, fresh and soft
3 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon minced onion
2 pounds ground chuck
4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
dash of cayenne pepper (optional)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon waterRecipe
Put the V-8 juice into a small saucepan and heat thoroughly. Place the bread, well broken up, into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Pour the vegetable juice over it. With the beaters of your mixer at low speed, beat till the bread and juice are thoroughly mixed and cooled. Then turn your mixer to its highest speed and add the eggs, one at a time. Add the salt, pepper and onion. Stir the meat in by hand and mix thoroughly. Mix the sugar, vinegar, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce and water together. Pour this into the bottom of a loaf pan. Form the meat mixture into a loaf and place in the pan. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 1 hour. At the end of this time, invert the loaf on an ovenproof platter and continue to bake for 30 minutes longer. The glaze which was at the bottom of the loaf will now glaze the top. If you wish, spoon the glaze over the top and sides from time to time. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
