This recipe is from my all time favorite cookbook My Mama Made That from the Junior League of Hampton Roads.  My friend Samantha helped design & create the book and it is absolutely fabulous.  It has all kinds of recipes that your mama used to make, like Tuna Noodle Casserole and Hamburger Stroganoff.  This meatloaf comes out perfect every time.  I serve it with mashed potatoes or Smokehouse Mac & Cheese.  This is real southern comfort food;0

This recipe makes two large meatloaves. I usually freeze one for later in the month. I wrap it directly in the pan and when ready, place directly in the oven and cook for 30 minutes at 375 degrees.

Ingredients

• 1½ cups tomato sauce
• ¼ cup honey
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• ¼ cup spicy brown mustard
• 3 pounds ground beef (lean)
• 2 eggs
• 1 apple, peeled and finely chopped
• 1 cup Italian Bread Crumbs
• 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon salt
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients in large bowl. Divide mixture into two equal portions. Shape loaves into two greased 9x13 baking dishes. Bake for 30-40 minutes until cooked thru.
