How To Make meatloaf - for the hungry man

  • Step 1
    Preheat overn to 375 degrees
  • Step 2
    mix all ingredients together in a bowl. (I put on gloves and knead it like bread dough, but a mixer would be fine too)
  • Step 3
    press mix firmly into a cake pan. (I usually use 2 loaf pans, this requires cooking for 45 minutes, but you can also use 1 9x9 pan, which only requires cooking for 35 minutes)
  • Step 4
    For extra zing, top with french fried onions or BBQ sauce or Ketchup before baking. But it's just fine on its own. I serve it with brown gravy and mashed potatoes, and we just pour the gravy across the meat and the potatoes at once.
