Curried Meatloaf

Growing up our family ate a lot of ground beef recipes. I still like hamburger meals, and this version of meat loaf is quite tastey, especially with the curry sauce. I have modified this recipe from Quick & Easy Microwaving Ground Beef. I have never liked to cook meals in the microwave, so any recipes I have used from this book are cooked on the stove or in the oven.

Meatloaf:
1½ pounds ground beef
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple
½ cup unseasoned dry bread crumbs
2 large eggs
¼ cup chopped green pepper
¼ cup chopped onion
1½ teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne

Topping:
1/3 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
¼ teaspoon curry powder

Combine meatloaf ingredients. Shape into loaf pan. Bake at 350°F until done (if I remember correctly, it takes about 45 minutes, depending on the size of your loaf pan). Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Combine topping ingredients and serve with sliced meatloaf.

*Ensure that the meat is cooked thoroughly through the center of the loaf.
