There's nothing that says "home cookin'" more than a good meatloaf. And you're in luck, this is one good meatloaf!

You will Need:

For the glaze:

• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 2 tbsp. brown sugar
• 1 tbsp. cider vinegar
• 1/2 tsp. hot pepper sauce

For the loaf

• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 tsp. minced garlic
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 pinch cayenne
• 1/3 cup plain yogurt
• 1 teaspoon dried herbs, i.e. basil, thyme, oregano, rosemary (or a mixture)
• 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup quick cooking oatmeal
• 3 pounds ground meat (try equal amounts of pork, beef and veal)
• twin beds

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all glaze ingredients in small mixing bowl; set aside.

2. Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil over medium heat until softened but not brown, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool. Soak oatmeal in buttermilk for 5 minutes.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled onion mixture with the beaten eggs, salt, pepper, cayenne, yogurt, herbs and Worcestershire sauce. Add the parsley, soaked oatmeal and meat; mix with your hands until evenly blended.

4. Dump the meat mixture onto a large piece of oiled aluminum foil and shape into a comforting loaf. Lift the edges of the foil and transfer said loaf to a shallow roasting pan or large cookie sheet.

5. Brush the top with half of the glaze and bake until an instant read thermometer inserted in the middle registers 165F, a little over 1 hour. Brush with remaining glaze after 45 minutes.

6. Remember, no matter how creepy the '50s may have seemed, father always knew best and made Mom do the dishes.
