Moist Meatloaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 tablespoons butter
    1 large sweet onion, chopped
    1 tablespoon pine nuts (optional)
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon dry mustard
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    2/3 cup breadcrumbs (I use Progresso Seasoned)
    2 lbs beef mince
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    1 egg, beaten
    SAUCE
    1 (14 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
    1 tablespoon dry mustard
    1 tablespoon brown sugar
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350F/180\u00b0C.
    Melt butter in large skillet and cook onions slowly until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add pine nuts if using, and cook until onions are tender. Remove from heat and leave to sit.
    Mix the ingredients for the sauce in a separate bowl and set aside.
    In the meantime, mix salt, dry mustard, garlic powder and breadcrumbs together. Add to beef in a large bowl. Combine Worcestershire with egg and add to beef mixture. Add onions.
    With clean hands (duh!) combine mixture thoroughly and shape into loaf and place in a 9\" X 13\" glass baking dish. (You can also divide the mixture evenly and make 4 individual loaves which should be about 9 oz. each). Pour the tomato sauce around the loaf and cover with foil.
    Place in oven and bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Remove from oven and let sit 10 minutes prior to serving. Slice into 1/2\" pieces and serve with tomato sauce. Goes well with smashed taters and veggie of your choice. :).
