My daughter asked me to post this recipe in its entirety so she could make it. It uses my mother's meatloaf recipe, tweaked by me, and a tomato-glaze topping that I developed using one of my favorite sweeteners, sorghum. You could substitute maple syrup or a honey & molasses blend if you can't find sorghum. But do look for sorghum, perhaps at your farmer's market or local stores. It's worth it!

Ingredients

MEATLOAF
1 pound lean ground beef (round or sirloin)
1 pound ground pork (lean, 10% fat)
2 - eggs
3/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 package lipton onion soup mix
1/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup buttermilk (or evaporated milk)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
GLAZE
8 ounces tomato sauce
1/4 cup sorghum
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce

How To Make delena's favorite meatloaf with sorghum glaze

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. MEATLOAF: Break up ground meats into a large mixing bowl. Add all of meatloaf ingredients and blend on low speed with mixer (I use the paddle on my KitchenAid stand mixer). Blend just until everything is well-combined. You can also combine by hand if you wish.

Step 2

Press meatloaf mixture into a 9 x 9" square baking dish. This creates a lot of surface area for the glaze. Bake for 35 minutes, then spread the glaze on top and bake another 20 minutes. NOTE: because the 9x9" pan does not drain, any fat from your meat tends to gather at the bottom. A neat trick for disposing of this fat is: Place one 9-10" flour tortilla on the bottom of the pan before putting in the meatloaf. The tortilla will absorb the extra fat and can be discarded once cooked if desired.
Step 3

GLAZE: Stir together the glaze ingredients until well combined. Spread on top of meatloaf after 35 minutes of baking, then bake another 20 minutes. Allow to cool about 5 minutes before slicing.
