MMM....Meatloaf!!

Wednesday, December 1, 2010

Nothing says comfort food like meatloaf! 
This is my favorite recipe 



Ingredients:

Salt and pepper (to taste), 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 egg, 1 sleeve saltine crackers,  1 1/2 Tablespoons of ketchup, 1/2 of a medium onion, diced.  Not Pictured- 1 pound Ground Beef. 

That is just the basics. I also like to add BBQ sauce (in place of the ketchup). A dash of worcestershire sauce or some seasoning salt are also nice too. 

First, you need to crush the crackers. Place them in a large freezer bag.... 


And whack them with something heavy until finely crushed. (wasn't that fun?)

Then add the ground beef, egg, ketchup, cracker crumbs, salt, pepper and onion to a large bowl.  and mix (my preferred method is with my hands! Messy...)


Then form into a loaf. Yes. It is a loaf of meat. But it is good...


The ketchup on top is optional. (but I think it's yummy!)

Now, Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. 


(I like to throw some baked potatoes in the oven, too!)

And...... VIOLA!

Dinner is served
