My Mom made the best meatloaf I've ever had. Being a momma's girl I watched and learned. Now I am sharing. My oldest stepdaughter used to say, I don't like meatloaf but if I had to eat it I would eat yours. Now she loves it and asks for seconds. My five year old makes yummy noises and so will you!!!

How To Make mom's best meatloaf ever

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 425 and set out ground meat for about 10 minutes, enough to take the chill off.
  • 2
    Chop bell pepper and onion into cubes.
  • 3
    Mix all ingredients together with hands, form into desired shape (ex. oval) and place on an oven safe dish. Cover with ketchup. I use a broiling pan so the oil drips into the bottom pan. I have used a large baking dish and placed bread slices under the meatloaf so it soaks up the grease while cooking. I prefer the broiling pan.
  • 4
    **I use 1 pack soup mix per pound of meat. I have also used the beef onion soup mix. Bake for about one hour for 2-3 lbs, less if only making 1lb.
  • 5
    Let cool and plate. I usually serve with mashed potatoes, stir fry broccoli with garlic or green beans, corn and yeast rolls.
