Lucinda'S Meatloaf

• 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
• 1/3 cup whole milk
• 2 pounds ground beef chuck
• 1/4 cup grated onion
• 1 carrot, peeled and grated
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons coarse salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup Chili Sauce (recipe follows) or regular bottled chili sauce

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 325Au0b0F with a rack in the middle position. In a large bowl, soak the bread crumbs in the milk for 5 minutes.
2. 2. Add the beef, onions, carrots, egg, salt, and pepper to the bread crumb mixture. Mix gently.
3. 3. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and put it in an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Make 3 holes, evenly spaced lengthwise, in the meat loaf and fill them to the top with the sauce. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
4. 4. Pour any accumulated juices over the top of the meat loaf. Slice and serve with the remaining chili sauce on the side.
