Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Using a large spoon, combine onion, 8-oz tomato sauce, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper.
• Add ground beef, mixing with hands.
• Form into a loaf and place into a casserole dish, preferrably one with a lid. I like to poke a few holes into the top of the loaf so some of the sauce can get down into the loaf itself.
• In a bowl, whisk together water, 8-oz tomato sauce, mustard, brown sugar, and vinegar.
• Pour half of the mixture over the loaf. Cover the casserole dish with the lid, and bake the meatloaf for 1 1/2 hours. Baste at least once.
• Pour the remaining mixture into a saucepan and bring to a simmer, allow sauce to reduce until about as thick as tomato sauce. This takes about 20 minutes.
• Allow meatloaf to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Pour thickened sauce over slices to serve.
