Another family favorite the way my mother used to make it and enhanced (I think) by my own trial and error over the years.

How To Make bar-none best meatloaf
-
1Place ground beef, egg, chopped onion, and milk in a large mixing bowl and let stand for 30 to 45 minutes to lose the fresh-from-the-refrigerator chill.
-
2Put the crackers in a zip-lock bag and roll with a rolling pin until crushed fairly fine.
-
3Add cracker crumbs to the bowl along with all of the remaining ingredients. Use your hands to mix it all together really well.
-
4Shape into a loaf in a shallow baking pan that has been lightly sprayed with Pam. The secret to this is to flatten the loaf and reshape it a few times which eliminates air pockets.
-
5Bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven for 50 minutes. "Frost" the top with ketchup and return to the oven for about ten additional minutes. Let stand at least five minutes minutes before slicing.
