Here is how you make Saucy Meat Loaf:

Set oven at 350.Combine first 7 ingredients and 1/3 C of tomato sauce and 1/3 C stewed tomatoes that have been processed in either hand held or regular food processor to a puree. I usually saute the onion until translucent before adding to the mix to make sure they get completely done.Shape into a loaf and place in vegetable oil sprayed baking dish with about 3" high sides (to hold the extra sauce). Mix rest of processed stewed tomatoes and sauce with remaining ingredients and pour one half over meat loaf and put remainder in a small sauce pan and simmer to thicken a little. This extra sauce can be used with leftovers.Bake for 40 - 45 minutes - basting occassionally.Serve with red skin whipped potatoes or brown rice.Serves 6-8 but the calorie count is for 8 for those of us trying to keep the calories down.Can also use salt free tomato sauce to lower sodium.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CLAUDIA1896.
