Gourmet Sauce

That's what my Dad calls it.  Ketchup.  Not gourmet at all, but it has it's place.  Tonight it's place is on top of meatloaf.  A must.  This morning I asked "what should we have for supper?"  Chloe responded with the usual "meatloaf".  Two pounds of hamburger, one packet onion soup mix, 3/4 cup bread crumbs, 2 eggs, 3/4 cup water, 1/3 cup gourmet sauce an then I added about a cup of extra sharp cheddar cheese.  It just adds a little zing.  I like zing.  I bake at 350 degrees for about an hour, and about 15 minutes before it's done, I drizzle some gourmet sauce on top of the meatloaf and bake it in.  It makes a really yummy treat of a glaze to top off your really yummy meatloaf.  Serve with mashed potatoes (because it's the right thing to do) and a nice salad with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cucumber, onion, red and orange peppers and craisins.  Top that all off with orange, raspberry vinaigrette dressing (that you made because I told you how).  The best part is the leftovers (if you have any).  Meatloaf sammies, slathered with miracle whip-super yummy!  I eat them cold.  Fantastic!  Tonight it's a tribute to my Dad and his favorite mealtime sidekick-gourmet sauce, the artist formally known as ketchup.
