Meatloaf with My Secret Sauce

I am pretty sure there is nothing Fowler loves more than this meatloaf for dinner! When he was three he asked what was for dinner, and I told him meatloaf. When I served it to him, he asked what was on top? Being vague on purpose...I just wanted him to eat, not discuss the meal...I said it is just sauce. He loved it and he turned around and looked at me and said...is that your secret sauce?? Well, of course, it was...who doesn't love secret sauce??!!!??? It has been meatloaf with secret sauce ever since...I don't even know what the real name is! I have made it soooo many times I don't even measure the ingredients for the sauce anymore!

1/2 cup of ketchup (if you know Fowler, this is what he loves about the sauce!)
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 beef bouillon cube or 1 teaspoon of granules

1 1/4 pounds of ground beef
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 cup of breadcrumbs
salt and pepper
1 cup of evaporated milk

Combine the first four ingredients in a saucepan...cook over medium heat until the brown sugar and the beef bouillon cube dissolve.
Combine the hamburger meat and the next four ingredients. Shape into six small loaves and place on a lined cookie sheet. Top each loaf with some secret sauce! Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes!
