Amish Meatloaf

This would go well with our 7-up biscuits.

Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef
1 1/2 cups crushed butter crackers (original recipe calls for 2 1/2 but I prefer a meatier meatloaf)
1 small onion, chopped
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
2-3 slices of bacon, raw

Sauce:

1 cup ketchup
2 tbsp vinegar
3/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp yellow mustard
1/2 cup brown sugar

Instructions:

Combine all meatloaf ingredients, except the bacon. Mix well until everything is incorporated.

Press the meat mixture into a 9x5 loaf pan, or (as I prefer) shape it into a loaf on top of a foil lined baking sheet.

Lay the bacon strips over top of the meatloaf and bake at 350 for 45 minutes.

While meatloaf is baking, combine the sauce ingredients in a bowl. After the meatloaf has cooked for 45 minutes, remove and baste with the sauce. Return to the oven for another 15-20 minutes.

Allow to sit for a few minutes upon removing from the oven before slicing.
