BBQ Meatloaf Aussie Style

Ingredients:

Meatloaf:
1 pound lean ground beef
1 pound sausage, casings removed
1 cup fine breadcrumbs
2 medium onions, chopped fine
1 tbsp curry powder
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp parsley, chopped
1 egg, beaten
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 cup milk
Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce:
1 onion, chopped very fine
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup dry red wine OR beef stock
1/4 cup Lea & Perrins worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp instant coffee
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 ounce margarine
2 tsp lemon juice

Instructions:

Loaf:
Combine meats, breadcrumbs, onions, salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, curry and egg in large bowl. Mix well. Mix milk and water and add to meat mixture a little at a time until smooth but firm. Shape into loaf and put into greased baking pan. Bake 30 minutes at 375 degrees F.

Sauce:
Sauté onions in margarine until golden and add all other ingredients. Bring slowly to a boil, lower heat and simmer 10 to 15 minutes. (Great with ribs or chicken). After loaf has cooked for 30 minutes, pour half of the sauce over the meat, return to oven and bake 45 minutes more, basting often with remaining sauce. Serve loaf hot in thick slices with remaining sauce. Also makes great sandwiches.
