Directions

1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. 2. Warm oil in large skillet over high heat. Add onion, garlic, chili powder, paprika, salt and cayenne.
3. 3. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally until onion is softened but not browned, about 10 minutes.
4. 4. Remove skillet from heat, stir in the tomato juice and set mixture aside to cool slightly.
5. 5. Combine beef and pork in large bowl. Add bread, eggs, Worcestershire, sugar, hot sauce and onion mixture; mix lightly but thoroughly.
6. 6. Place mixture in a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan. Bake 55 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center registers 160 degrees. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
7. 7. Note: Ground turkey can replace either the beef or the pork. If you use a combination of turkey and pork, which will be more delicately flavored than meat loaf made with beef, reduce chili powder to 2 tablespoons and use tomato-vegetable cocktail juice instead of plain tomato juice.
