Run of the Mill Meatloaf

We made meatloaf last night.  It was super easy and very tasty.  The only variance to the recipe that I found here was that we sauteed the onions before putting them in the meat.  I don't like onions in the meatloaf but I love the taste of them so this was a great way to get them in there!

Here's a pic right after we took it out of the oven:

Here's my dinner:

Serves: 8

• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
• 1 egg
• 1 onion, chopped (you may saute in some butter before mixing)
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup dried bread crumbs
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons prepared mustard
• 1/3 cup ketchup

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the beef, egg, onion, milk and bread OR cracker crumbs (we used Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs). Season with salt and pepper to taste and place in a lightly greased 5×9 inch loaf pan, OR form into a loaf and place in a lightly greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
3. In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar, mustard and ketchup. Mix well and pour over the meatloaf. (I advice to triple the topping as suggested by others).
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour.
