This one is a winner. I have made it a hundred times and get requests for
the recipe all the time. Left overs, if any, make wondeful sandwiches.
Follow the recipe to the "t".

2 1/2 pounds ground beef -- or hamburger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup ketchup -- USE CHILI SAUCE!
1/3 cup water
4 tablespoons brown sugar -- more if desired

Mix all ingredients well. Mold the loaf and place in a large pan, leaving
a well between loaf and pan to permit draining off excess oil. With pastry
brush moisten the top and sides with cold water to prevent crumbling. Do
not cover. Bake at 350~ for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Drain off liquid and slice loaf and leave slices vertical. Mix ingredients
for sauce as listed. Pour sauce over sliced meat loaf and get some between
and all over the top. Bake an additional 30 minutes, uncovered.

You must use regular ground beef or hamburger, for the best flavor.

Eva Bond was the cook for the jurors of the Malice Green murder trial in
Detroit in 1993. Her meat loaf was their favorite and they requested it
over and over again. You must follow the directions for the sauce to get
the flavor.
