No fancy ingredients here... Not like we need another meatloaf recipe, but I figured I'd should post my Grandma's for people like me who like a quick easy meatloaf without a lot of fuss. Most of the meatloaves I saw here had things I'd never even consider putting in a meatloaf! :) At times I will substitute the onion with approx. 1/4 cup dried onion flakes. I also have substituted the garlic with garlic powder. I've never tried making it with horseradish. (I was a notoriously picky eater as a kid so I don't think Grandma put it in when I came to visit either.) I usually don't bother beating the egg... (Boy do I sound lazy! Don't tell Mom! LOL!) I've only recently started putting ketchup on the top before baking, so I don't think it's necessary to keep the meatloaf moist. Mom used to use her own dried bread crumbs, but I use the plain storebought kind. I haven't been adventurous enough to try any flavored bread crumbs... Make sure lean ground beef is used otherwise the meatloaf can get too greasy and/or bubble over the pan while baking. I also recommend checking the center to make sure it's done. On occasion it has taken over an hour to bake. Ingredients:
2 lbs lean ground beef |
1 cup soft breadcrumbs |
1 beaten egg |
1/2 cup ketchup |
1 clove minced garlic |
2 teaspoons salt |
1 dash pepper |
1 medium finely chopped onion |
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish (optional) |
Directions:
1. Thoroughly mix all ingredients. 2. Shape in loaf pan. 3. Cover with more ketchup if desired. 4. Bake one hour at 350 degrees. |
