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

   Creole Sauce

• 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.
