simple meatloaf recipe that your family will like

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (leaner is better)

• 1 cup 2% milk

• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

• 1/4 teaspoon dried sage

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

• 1/2 cup ketchup or barbecue sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients except ketchup in a large bowl, and mix well. Place mixture into an ungreased loaf pan or shape into a loaf in an ungreased baking pan. Spread ketchup or sauce over the top of the meatloaf.

Bake uncovered for 1 to 1 1/4 hours until no pink remains at the center of the meatloaf. If using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature of the meatloaf should be 160 degrees.

After baking, let sit for 5 minutes before removing from pan and slicing to serve.

Meat Loaf

1 lb. lean ground beef

1 clove garlic

OR

⅛ teaspoon garlic powder

1 small onion

2 slices bread with crust

¼ cup milk

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage

OR

¼ teaspoon dried sage leaves

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground mustard (dry)

⅛ teaspoon pepper

1 egg

⅓ cup ketchup

OR

⅓ cup chili sauce

OR

⅓ cup barbecue sauce

Heat oven to 350∫. Break up the beef into small pieces in a large bowl,

using a fork or spoon.

Peel and finely chop the garlic. Peel the onion, and chop enough of the

onion into small pieces to measure 3 tablespoons. Wrap remaining piece of

onion, and refrigerate for another use. Add the garlic and onion to the

beef.

Tear the bread into small pieces and add to beef mixture.

Add the milk, Worcestershire sauce, sage, salt, mustard, pepper and egg to

the beef mixture. Mix with a fork, large spoon or your hands until the

ingredients are well mixed.

Place the beef mixture in the ungreased baking pan. Almost any size pan

will work; just be sure the pan has sides on it to catch the juices that

will accumulate while the meat loaf bakes. Shape the mixture into an 8 ◊

4-inch loaf in the pan, and spread ketchup over the top.

Bake uncovered 50 to 60 minutes or until beef in center of loaf is no

longer pink. Cut a small slit near center of loaf; meat and juices should

no longer be pink. A meat thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf

should read 160∫. Let the loaf stand 5 minutes, so it will be easier to

remove from the pan. Cut the loaf into slices.
