Everyday Meat Loaf -- Meatballs -- OAMC

• 2 lbs lean beef, ground (93/7)
• 1 lb pork, ground (lean)
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (Progresso Italian)
• 3 eggs
• 12 cup ketchup
• 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Coleman's dry mustard (In spices)
• 14 teaspoon nutmeg

1. ~Make the Piquant Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, & nutmeg.
2. Blend well.
3. If you want easy clean up ~ Fill the bottom of a broiling pan 1/2 full with water (This was started in order to make clean up of the "sauce" easier by preventing carmelization/burning of it on the bottom of the pan.
4. It turned out that it also helps keep the meat very moist.
5. ).
6. ~ Line the top of the broiling pan with parchment paper (or aluminum foil) & use a knife to punch holes where the slots are in the pan.
7. Place the lined top on the water filled bottom of the broiling pan.
8. ~Crumble the meats together in a large mixing bowl.
9. Scramble the eggs and mix them into the meat.
10. Mix the bread crumbs into the meat/egg mixture.
11. Form 2 loaves.
12. (I use a plastic wrap lined bread loaf pan for consistency of size and cooking time.)
13. Place the loaves on the pan.
14. **FROST** the loaves with Piquant Sauce.
15. ~Bake @ 350 for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
