How To Make esther smith's meatloaf
-
Step 1Spray bread pan with non-stick spray and preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Step 2Chop onion and mix all ingredients together in a big bowl.
-
Step 3Place into the bread pan, making sure it's evenly distributed.
-
Step 4In the same bowl (to save dishes) mix ketchup and brown sugar together and pour/spread on top of the meatloaf. I never measure these two ingredients. I add and mix until I have an amount & mixture that looks good. (Note: I always follow recipes...this is the only thing I don't measure. You really can't go wrong.)
-
Step 5Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until no longer pink and meat is cooked through. If the top starts to burn, simply cover with aluminum foil.
