Simple Meatloaf

This dish can feed up to five people. It is a easy family dish to make for a simple dinner to make. Unlike some other meatloaf dishes, this recipe does not need much to make it taste great.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs. of ground beef
• 1 egg
• 1 onion, chopped (red or white)
• 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

Steps: 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F 
2. In a large bowl, combine the beef, egg, onion, milk, and bread crumb
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste and place in a lightly greased 5x9 inch pan or meatloaf pan of choice
4. In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar, mustard, and ketchup. Mix well and pour over the meat loaf. 
5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour

I have made this dish once or twice in close situations, in which I was pressed for time. This can go well with a side of vegetables and a heaping scoop of mashed potatoes would make this dish even better. There is not much to say with a simple dish like this, but it is not as healthy as the other dishes I have created. Also, there is no need to watch or tend to the meatloaf as it bakes in the oven. The time required to cook is a good time; the meatloaf does not turn into a rock or a pile of mush that is displeasing. Enjoy!
