My magnificent meatloaf!

When I was a kid, you couldn't pay me to eat meatloaf. Now, though, I love it.

This recipe was adapted from a recipe called Sweet and Sour Meatloaf. My adaptation has lower calories, more onion soup mix,  and a different cooking time.

Ingredients:
1 egg
5 tbsp ketchup, divided
2 tbsp yellow mustard
1/2 cup plain dried bread crumbs
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 lb ground beef
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 cup stevia
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp cider vinegar

Directions:
In a large bowl, slightly beat the egg. Add beef, 2 tbsp of ketchup, the mustard, bread crumbs, onion soup mix, salt, and pepper. Mix it all together, then place it in a Pampered Chef Deep Covered Baker.

Microwave for 9 minutes with the cover on.

While it's microwaving, get a small bowl. Combine the 3 remaining tbsp of ketchup, the stevia, brown sugar, and cider vinegar. Stir them up until well blended.

When the microwave goes off, drain the fat from the meatloaf. Then pour the sugary sauce over the loaf. Cover again, and microwave for 4 minutes.

Enjoy! It's the best meatloaf I've ever had!
