Ingredients
- 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- Dash black pepper
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1 can (5.3 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 small green pepper, chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 can (2 ounces) sliced mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1-1/2 cups tomato juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Dash hot pepper sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- Salt, if needed
Preheat oven to 350° F. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatloaf. Mix and blend well to a smooth consistency. Place meat in a greased loaf pan. Smooth top. Bake for about 1 hour or until meatloaf is done.
In the meantime, prepare sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan. Add green pepper, onion and mushrooms. Sauté for a few minutes until vegetables are soft but not browned. In a bowl, mix cornstarch with a little tomato juice. Add remaining tomato juice to pan with pepper, onion and mushroom mixture. Return to heat and bring to a boil. Add cornstarch mixture, stirring well. Add hot pepper sauce, thyme leaves and salt, if needed. Bring to a boil. Boil for 1 to 2 minutes until sauce thickens. Serve meatloaf with sauce and steamed rice or noodles.
