A few years ago, I searched the internet for an easy meat loaf recipe. I finally found something easy on cooks.com and saved it to my laptop. About a year later, my laptop crashed and I haven’t been able to find it since. The following recipe is my version of the recipe I can no longer find online.
This meat loaf won the “This may be better than my Mama’s meat loaf” award from my husband. I almost feel guilty at how simple it is.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Meat Loaf Ingredients
1.5 lbs ground beef
1 cup chopped white onion
1.5 cup shredded cheese (I use the fiesta blend)
2 eggs
2 slices of bread
1/3 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Topping Ingredients
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup ketchup
2 TBSPN mustard
METHOD
In a mixing bowl, beat the two eggs and milk.
Tear up the bread and let it soak in the egg/milk liquid until most of the liquid is absorbed by the bread.
In another large mixing bowl use your hands to mix together the meat, cheese, onion, soaked bread, salt and pepper. Mix well (with your hands) and shape the mixture into a loaf. Cook in a casserole dish or baking dish for 30 minutes.
In another bowl, mix all ingredients for the topping. After the meat has cooked for 30 minutes, spoon the topping over the loaf and return to the oven to cook for another 20 to 25 minutes.
This is another family favorite that I hope is equally loved by yours!
