Meatloaf love it or leave it Cook it or Freeze It

Meatloaf the way I see it you either love it or you don't. The problem may be that everyone has different taste preferences When we do finally find what we love we don't want to change it. Did you know that you can make your own meatloaf season, find it in a pre packaged envelope of seasoning or buy a can of meatloaf sauce. I recently found this yummy recipe which originally belonged the mom of the author. It is a quick and easy recipe and one that our family enjoyed.


Mom's Meatloaf
1 1/2-2# ground beef
1/2 onion, diced fine (been known to use minced/dried onions if I am out too)
2 eggs, beaten
1 c. breadcrumbs
1/2 c. ketchup
salt and pepper to your taste, I have been known to throw in some garlic powder on occasion

Mix all the above in a bowl, put in a meatloaf/bread pan...
Bake at 350 for 1- 1 1/2 hours...viola!

Make two and freeze one mixed (flat) in a gallon size baggie for later!
