  • 1 Tablespoon curry powder

Meatloaf: Combine ground beef, sausage, breadcrumbs, onions, salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, curry, and egg in large bowl. Mix well. Mix milk and water and add to meat mixture a little at a time until smooth but firm. Shape into loaf and put into greased baking pan.

Bake 30 minutes at 375 degrees F.

Sauce: Saute onions in margarine until golden. Add ketchup, wine, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, water, vinegar, coffee, and lemon juice. Bring slowly to a boil, lower heat and simmer 10 to 15 minutes. (The sauce is great with ribs or chicken).

After meatloaf has cooked for 30 minutes, pour half of the sauce over the meat, return to oven and bake 45 minutes more, basting often with remaining sauce.

Serve loaf hot in thick slices with remaining sauce. The meatloaf also makes great sandwiches.
