I find myself paging through my mother's recipes when I'm stumped for an
economical meal these days.
This meatloaf, with its sweet-spicy glaze, evokes pleasant memories, and
the price is right, especially when ground beef is on sale. (When it is,
buy ahead and freeze the meat.)
Leftovers make great sandwiches on pieces of toasted whole-wheat bread.

Red-Wine Meatloaf with Brown-Sugar Glaze
(serves 6 to 8)
Meatloaf:
1/2 cup red wine
2 pounds ground beef
1 cup soft bread crumbs
1 small chopped onion
2 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons ketchup or tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Glaze:
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1/2 cup water
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Stir all ingredients except those for the
glaze together in a bowl and mix until combined. Pat the mixture into a
loaf pan and bake for 30 minutes. While meatloaf is baking, combine all
the ingredients for the glaze in a small saucepan and stir over low heat
until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil without stirring, then turn off
heat and let glaze cool slightly.
When the meatloaf has baked for 30 minutes, drain off liquid and continue
to bake another 30 minutes, basting with glaze every 8 to 10 minutes. Let
stand 5 minutes before serving.
