Sweet and Sour Meatloaf

1 lb. ground been
1 minced onion or 1 Tbl. Dried minced onion
12 crackers, crushed or ½ C. breadcrumbs
½ tsp. salt
1 egg
1 C. tomato sauce (8 oz. can), divided
2 Tbl. Vinegar
¼ tsp. dried mustard
2 Tbl. Brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray loaf pan. Mix ground beef, onion, crackers, salt, egg and ½ C. tomato sauce. Form loaf and place in greased pan. Mix together ½ C. tomato sauce, vinegar, dried mustard, brown sugar. Pour over and around loaf. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees.

Side Suggestions:
I like to serve this with a salad or green veggie and some instant mashed potatoes. I add a little dried parsley to the water for the potatoes to give them color. I also add a little garlic powder to the potato flakes to give them some flavor.
