Good the first time around and even as left overs.

1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
2 cups bread crumbs (or more depending on how  large the egg is and humidity.),
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 large egg beaten,
1 medium onion, chopped
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons mustard
2 tablespoons vinegar

1. Preheat oven 325 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, egg, onion and half of the tomato sauce.
3. Mix lightly.
4. Shape into a loaf and place in a baking dish.
5. In a small mixing bowl, combine the other half tomato sauce, brown sugar, water, mustard and vinegar.
6. Brush the loaf with this mixture and place in oven and bake 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting occasionally with sauce.

(note: Instead of a baking dish, I use a deep, foil lined broiler pan to help drain off excess fat. I had tried to cover the top piece of the broiler pan with foil, but found that a coating of Pam cooking spray works much better! And for bread crumbs I use ‘Progresso Garlic and Herb‘. Just adds a little more flavor!)
