In any event, I want to share this recipe with you because despite my mishaps (hey, it's good to know what others did wrong to avoid doing it yourself!) it really was a pretty good dinner. I wouldn't give it 5 stars or a glowing recommendation or anything, but it is a pretty easy one to make.
EASY MEATLOAF
The silent cast:
1 1/2 Lb. Ground Beef (I highly recommend getting the VERY lean meat so that there is less grease)
1 Egg
1 Onion; chopped
1 C. Milk
1 C. Dried Bread Crumbs or Cracker Crumbs
2 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp. Prepared Mustard
1/3 C. Ketchup
Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl combine the Beef, Egg, Onion, Milk, and Bread Crumbs/Cracker Crumbs. Season with Salt and Pepper to taste and place in a lightly greased 5x9 loaf pan, OR form into a loaf and place in a lightly greased 9x13 baking pan. (I will use the 9x13 next time) In a separate small bowl, combine the Brown Sugard, Mustard, and Ketchup. Mix well and pour over the meatloaf. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
The finished product:
I love, love meatloaf and simple recipes too. I tend to use cheap meat, so it is greasy. To get rid of the grease, I put it on my broiler pan. Then the grease runs down into the bottom part. I haven't made any of my meatloafs in a loaf pan. I like the outside to get pretty crunchy. I think that I will try this recipe. Are there any other changes?
