SELF-GLAZING MEAT LOAF

Category: Meatloaf

1 cup V-8, vegetable juice cocktail
3 slices bread, broken up
3 eggs
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tbsp minced onion
1 lb ground chuck
1/2 lb ground ham and ground veal
4 tbsp dart brown sugar and cider vinegar
1/4 tsp dry mustard
Dash of cayenne
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp water

Put the V-8 juice into a small saucepan and heat thoroughly. Place the bread into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Pour the vegetable cocktail over it. With the beaters of your mixer at low speed, beat until 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.

Now stir in the ground meat by hand. Be sure that all is thoroughly mixed. Mix the sugar, vinegar, dry mustard, cayenne,
worcestershire sauce and water together. Pour this into the bottom of a loaf tin. Form the meat mixture into a loaf and place in the tin. Bake at 375 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.
