Easy Meatloaf Recipe

The ingredients in this easy meatloaf recipe can also be used in hamburger patties.

Ground beef lends itself to so many recipes but meatloaf is probably the best known and the easiest.

Basic Meatloaf

Mix together thoroughly:
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1½ lbs. lean ground beef
• ¼ cup fine bread crumbs
• 1 small onion,chopped
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• ½ teaspoon dry mustard
• ¼ teaspoon pepper

Spread over top, if desired:

2 tablespoons ketchup, steak sauce, barbeque or chili sauce

Mix ingredients together and pack in a loaf pan. Bake in oven at 350º F.(160ºC) for 1 hour.

Serves 4 to 5

Variations:
Meatloaf recipes can also be adapted for cooking in a crockpot.

A time saver:
Replace chopped onion with 1 envelope (1½ oz., 100 ml) of dry onion soup mix.
However this increases the salt content.

Rolled oats or soda cracker crumbs can be used instead of bread crumbs. Remember that soda crackers also contain salt.
