Meatloaf 101 Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 lb of ground beef or mixtures of ground beef, ground turkey and/or ground pork
- 2 large eggs
- ½ medium onion chopped
- 1 Cup bread crumbs or dry uncooked oatmeal
- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Cup ketchup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the ground meat, eggs, chopped onions, bread crumbs/oats, Worcestershire sauce and ½ cup of the ketchup into a large bowl.
- Mix all ingredients together (Some people try to do this with a large paddle spoon, but I just smash everything together using one hand, keeping the other hand clean so I can add more bread crumbs or oats, if necessary - the mixture should be firm, so it will stick together while baking, but not stiff.
- While the mixture is still in the bowl, begin shaping it into one or two oblong "loaves."
- Put the loaf or loaves into the prepared baking pan.
- Top the loaf/loaves with the rest of the ketchup.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for about 75 minutes.
- Remove from oven and immediately take your meatloaf out of the pan and place on plate.
- Allow the meatloaf to cool for five minutes before slicing.
- Serve and enjoy.
