susan's savory meatloaf
This is based on my mother's recipe, although she did not use bread crumbs, but cracker crumbs. We don't buy crackers, but always have a couple of slices of bread available to turn into crumbs. I've even used pumpernickel crumbs - very good in this meatloaf!

How To Make susan's savory meatloaf
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Step 2Break the ground meat up into loose chunks. Mix in all the other ingredients well, but don't mix too hard, as it will make it too dense.
-
Step 3Form into a loaf shape in a pan that is about 1-2 inches bigger all the way around. Lining the pan with crinkled aluminum foil helps with the baking, and the cleanup. (Or, fill muffin cups with mixture.)
-
Step 4Bake: for whole loaf, 60-70 minutes. Use meat thermometer and cook to at least 165 degrees. For muffin tin, it only takes about 20 minutes.
-
Step 5Let cool slightly before slicing or removing from muffin pan.
-
Step 6If you want to top it with something, mix together 1-2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce and 1/2 cup ketchup and brush on during last 15 minutes of cooking.
