GLAZE
1/2 c ketchup
4 tbsp brown sugar
4 tbsp cider vinegar

MEAT LOAF
1 tsp oil
1 med onion -- chopped
2 cloves garlic -- minced
2 eggs
1/2 tsp thyme
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp dijon mustard
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp tabasco sauce
1/2 c lowfat 1% milk
1 lb ground beef, 4% fat
1 lb ground pork -- lean
2/3 c nonfat saltine crackers

Mix glaze ingredients in a small saucepan and set aside.

Heat oven to 350 degrees, heat oil in medium skillet add onion and garlic
and 1 tbsp water. Saute until softened, about 5 minutes.

Mix eggs, thyme, salt, pepper, mustard, pepper sauce, and milk. Add egg
mixture to meat in a large bowl along with crackers, parsley, and cooked
onions & garlic. Mix until meat mixture does not stick to the bowl. If
mixture sticks, add more milk. With wet hands form meat mixture into the
loaf pan. Pull mixture away from the pan sides to keep the glaze from
dripping into the oven.

Brush the loaf with 1/4 of the glaze and bake for about 45 minutes. The
glaze should be set. Brush with another 1/4 of the glaze and continue to
bake until loaf registers 160 degrees, about 15 minutes longer. Remove
from the oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes. The remaining glaze can
be simmered and served with a slice of meat loaf.
