Melanie's Easy Meat Loaf

2 lbs. chopped organic beef
1 egg
¼ cup white flour
½ cup chopped Maui onion
¼ cup minced garlic
¼ teaspoon salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup red pepper and onion tomato sauce, any brand.

If maintaining a manicure, mince the onions and garlic in a food processor, or in spurts in a blender.  Saute the onions and garlic in the oil in a fry pan til translucent, or top brown them briefly in a toaster oven pan.  Have a friend mix all other ingredients, except the tomato sauce, together well in a large bowl.  Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Add the garlic and onions, and half the tomato sauce, and mix well.  Shape the meat mix into an oiled loaf pan, (9x3x5) topping with the remaining tomato sauce to make a slightly tart glazed crust.   Bake 45 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly top browned, occasionally draining the liquids from the pan so it bakes rather than boils in its own juices.  Serve sliced and enjoy!
