How to Make Meatloaf Sauce Or Stuffed Peppers

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce (or vegan alternative), vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Spoon the sauce generously over your prepared meatloaf (or lentil loaf). Ensure it's evenly distributed.
  3. Bake according to your meatloaf recipe. For a meatloaf, bake for approximately 60 minutes at 350°F (175°C), or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  4. If using as a dipping sauce, prepare the sauce and serve alongside your cooked meatloaf. Alternatively, spoon over your finished meatloaf for extra flavor and moisture.
  5. For a vegan version, simply omit the Worcestershire sauce and use a vegan alternative like soy sauce or mushroom broth for a savory umami boost.
